I have taken a jQuery script which would remove divs on a click, but I want to implement deleting records of a MySQL database. In the delete.php:
<?php 
$photo_id = $_POST['id'];
$sql = "DELETE FROM photos
  WHERE id = '" . $photo_id . "'";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
?>
The jQuery script:
$(document).ready(function() {
   $('#load').hide();
});
$(function() {
$(".delete").click(function() {
$('#load').fadeIn();
var commentContainer = $(this).parent();
var id = $(this).attr("id");
var string = 'id='+ id ;
$.ajax({
   type: "POST",
   url: "delete.php",
   data: string,
   cache: false,
   success: function(){
 commentContainer.slideUp('slow', function() {$("#photo-" + id).remove();});
 $('#load').fadeOut();
  }
 });
return false;
 });
});
The div goes away when I click on it, but then after I refresh the page, it appears again...
How do I get it to delete it from the database?
Thanks :)
EDIT: Woopsie... forgot to add the db.php to it, so it works now >.<
