Thanks for all that gave help on this one, problem finally solved! *mops
forehead*
Easy when you know how!
on the form side:
<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"delete_list[]\" value=\"$messid\">
script page:
$delete = implode(",", $delete_list);
if(!($result = mysql_db_query($DB, "DELETE FROM SENT_ITEMS WHERE MESSAGEID
IN ($delete)")))
{
echo "Error deleting message(s)";
DisplayErrMsg(sprintf("internal error %d:%s\n",
mysql_errno(), mysql_error()));
mysql_close($link);
exit();
}
Thx again!

Hi Karl,
$delete = "'" . implode( "', '", $delete_list );
$delete = substr( $delete, 0, ( strlen( $delete ) - 3 ) );
then use: "DELETE FROM sent_items WHERE id IN ($delete)"
Not tested, but should work.
Greetinx,
Mike
