Player reporting clear issue

[PHPStudent12]

Hello, I'm new to mccodes. I tried to clear existing player reports but keep getting this error message: Error: This script requires an action.

This is the code

function report_clear()

	{

	    global $db, $ir, $c, $h, $userid;

	    if (!in_array($ir['user_level'], array(2, 3)))

	    {

	        echo 'You cannot access this area.<br />

	        &gt; <a href="staff.php">Go Back</a>';

	        die($h->endpage());

	    }

	    staff_csrf_stdverify('staff_clear_preport',

	            'staff_users.php?action=reportsview');

	    $_POST['ID'] =

	            (isset($_POST['ID']) && is_numeric($_POST['ID']))

	                    ? abs(intval($_POST['ID'])) : 0;

	    if (empty($_POST['ID']))

	    {

	        echo '

	        Invalid ID, please go back and try again.

	        <br />

	        &gt; <a href="staff_users.php?action=reportsview">Go Back</a>

	           ';

	        die($h->endpage());

	    }

	    $d =

	            $db->query(

	                    'SELECT COUNT(`prID`)

	                     FROM `preports`

	                     WHERE `prID` = ' . $_POST['ID']);

	    if ($db->fetch_single($d) == 0)

	    {

	        $db->free_result($d);

	        echo '

	        Report doesn\'t seem to exist, Please go back and try again.

	        <br />

	        &gt; <a href="staff_users.php?action=reportsview">Go Back</a>

	           ';

	        die($h->endpage());

	    }

	    $db->free_result($d);

	    $db->query(

	            'DELETE FROM `preports`

	                WHERE `prID` = ' . $_POST['ID']);

	    stafflog_add('Cleared player report ID ' . $_POST['ID']);

	    echo '

	    Report deleted.

	    <br />

	    &gt; <a href="staff_users.php?action=reportsview">Go Back</a>

	       ';

	    die($h->endpage());[/PHP]

And the URL you're attempting to use?
Chances are you're not using an action (the "?action=wutever" bit) that's in the switch() statement near the top of the file.

In v2 and v2.0.5b, the case is "repclear". and that function requires a POST value of ID.
In reports_view(), the default form reads as
 

<form action='staff_users.php?action=repclear'>
    <input type='hidden' name='ID' value='{$r['prID']}' />
    {$csrf}
    <input type='submit' value='Clear' />
</form>

and is part of an echo statement

hi yh i think thats exactly whats happening because when i try to clear reports i get this url: http://localhost/staff_users.php?ID=1&verf=a29d9633458a9a570f04b09726bf26c8

with no action, can you help me learn how to add one please?

sorry im new to this 

EDIT: i think i fixed with adding

method='post' in the form action

Why not clear it through phpadmin?

Why not run it on the command line?

Everyone has their preferred method of administration ?
