echo parse_url( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_QUERY);

link 

<p><a href="<?php echo 'example.php/'.$item->getproductid(); ?>">Delete</a></p

It is because your URL needs to be corrected to add a query string, starting with a ? and an identifier

<a href="<?php echo 'example.php/?foo='.$item->getproductid(); ?>">

Now you can either parse the URL (not necessary and unnecessarily complex for this action) or get the value from the GET array:

$_GET['foo']; // is the id in $item->getproductid()
