Isset expression error

Question

I have basically coded a code which populates a list of categories from my database then you are able to select which to delete.

I have the issue with the delete cod

Answer 1

You missed this ):

if(isset($_POST['delete_id']) && !empty($_POST['delete_id']))
                            ^---

Answer 2

Others have shown the issue of the missing ) in the expression, but empty() will check isset() so that is redundant. Just check empty():

if(!empty($_POST['delete_id'])) {

Answer 3

The issue is that this

if(isset($_POST['delete_id'] && !empty($_POST['delete_id'])))

should be

if(isset($_POST['delete_id']) && !empty($_POST['delete_id']))
