Creating the Product Delete Function

The product delete process will be as simple as the category delete function. Instead of actually deleting

a product (which might disrupt any number of ongoing shopping cart orders), you ’ ll opt to set a

particular product ’ s status to “ inactive. ”

Just as with the category delete() function, the product delete() function will take the fourth URI

segment as a product ID, pass that ID to a model function called deleteProduct() , and then redirect

the user to the product home page.

function delete($id){

$this- > MProducts- > deleteProduct($id);

$this- > session- > set_flashdata(‘message’,’Product deleted’);

redirect(‘admin/products/index’,’refresh’);

}
