Cannot delete from database

Hover your mouse pointer over the button(s), and see which url appears on the status bar of your browser.

Instead of

Code:

<td>
<a class="btn btn-danger" type="button"  href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>posts/delete/<?php echo $post['id']; ?>"><i class="fa fa-close"></i>delete</a>
</td>

Try this:

Code:

<td>
<?= anchor('posts/delete/' . $post['id'],'<i class="fa fa-close"></i>','class="btn btn-danger" type="button"');?>
</td>

 Hi, when I hover over the button I get posts/delete/id   The id number.  I changed the link but it still did not work.
