You can delete data using id and column. Yes, this possible for a particular table using SQL query. Use Alter query and id. 

Like this - 

ALTER TABLE table_name DROP column_name where id  ;

Alter query will help you delete a particular subjects. You can define id or click on the button .

<?php
$cser=mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","dmc") or die("connection failed:".mysqli_error());
 

$RollNo = $_GET['RollNo'];

 
//Delete row from database .
$result = mysqli_query($cser, "DELETE FROM marks WHERE RollNo=$RollNo");
 
if($result)
{
header("Location: insert1.php");
}
else
{
    echo "error";
}
?>

Please share your MYSQL database table data structure or add a new column id with a unique key and delete by id only. It will help you.
by (8.9k points) ● 8 ● 22 ● 61
First, create an id and make it an auto-increment at edit time. And change the link -

$result = mysqli_query($cser, "DELETE FROM marks WHERE RollNo=$RollNo");

to

$result = mysqli_query($cser, "DELETE FROM marks WHERE id=$id");

Edit the index file change RollNo to id.

1. Add a new column id at the beginning of MYSQL table and tick AI ( Auto increment) and save.  

2.  Change this line - 

echo"<td> <a href=\"delete1.php?RollNo=$res[RollNo]\" onClick=\"return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete?')\">Delete</a></td>"

to

echo"<td> <a href=\"delete1.php?id=$res[id\" onClick=\"return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete?')\">Delete</a></td>"

You can delete data by id. One by one row. Never use the roll number. The roll number is containing the same 1,1,1, rows. It deletes 3 rows. That's why create a unique id. 

Now go to delete php file and change the line.

$result = mysqli_query($cser, "DELETE FROM marks WHERE RollNo=$RollNo");

to

$result = mysqli_query($cser, "DELETE FROM marks WHERE id=$id");

It will help you. Comment me if the error will occur.

Please post your table structure. Edit your question and share your table structure.

I am getting your point Kindly create a unique id column.
by (6.7k points) ● 7 ● 27 ● 60
You are not added an id column. Kindly add an id column before roll number and make it unique.
by (6.7k points) ● 7 ● 27 ● 60
RollNo is Also Unique Column ?
by (90 points) ● 15 ● 31
RollNo is not showing unique in your table structure. Kindly add a new column id before roll number (at the beginning ) with auto increment.
See my another answer at first position.
Try that.
by (6.7k points) ● 7 ● 27 ● 60
I updates this line in my answeer check answer at first position .
echo"<td> <a href=\"delete1.php?id=$res[id\" onClick=\"return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete?')\">Delete</a></td>"

You can edit your database table structure like this -
Make column id AI (auto increment )

What i changed here i also create ID AI
by (90 points) ● 15 ● 31
Have you created an id or ID?
id should be in a small alphabet.
Never create database table column names in the uppercase alphabet.
All column names should be in the lowercase alphabet.
Like this -

id, rollno , subjects, marks, class , section, result, etc.

Change this line
$result=mysqli_query($mysqli,"SELECT * FROM marks WHERE RollNo=$RollNo");

 to

$result=mysqli_query($mysqli,"SELECT * FROM marks WHERE id=$id");

Select data by id and update by id.
by (6.7k points) ● 7 ● 27 ● 60
Select data one by one id. In PHP, delete and update operation is done by id. Every row has a unique id . We can delete and update one by one row by id.
by (6.7k points) ● 7 ● 27 ● 60

The id column is missing in your MySQL table. You should add an id column with auto increment. 

PHP operations- 

1. Update by id - ( Id should be AI ) auto increment. 

2. Delete by id- ( Id should be AI ) auto increment.

You should focus on id importances. 

Reference for Update and delete by id -

Start learning and understand the id concept using PHP CRUD application.
