I wanted some input as to what the best way to handle this would be. I have a submit button and a normal button inside a form. I don’t want to do a submit on my delete button for the form. Is setting a link outside of the button to carry over into another file using a $_GET parameter the best way here? Basically, take the GET parameter in the php file and if its true, then do my delete functionality. Is there a better way here?

e.g. <a href="delete.php?delete=true"><input type="button" value="Delete Item" /></a>

    GET requests should be used when accessing data (SELECT). POST requests should be used when modifying data (UPDATE, CREATE, DELETE). i.e. You shouldn’t be using a GET request to delete a system resource.
