Make each button a separate form, with the id as a hidden value. Like so:
<div>
<form method='post'>
<p>My first entry</p>
<input type='hidden' name='id' value='1' />
<input type='submit' value='Delete' />
</form>
</div>
<div>
<form method='post'>
<p>My second entry</p>
<input type='hidden' name='id' value='2' />
<input type='submit' value='Delete' />
</form>
</div>
Obviously you'd want something better formatted, but you get the idea. Then
on the receiving end, you'd simply "DELETE FROM entries where id=$id;". That
is, AFTER you process and clean the submitted id value so that it's not an
injection risk. :-)

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea,
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas
