Say the ID of the row from the DB is held in $a_Row['ID'].

Make the name of the checkbox ...

name="delete[{$a_Row['ID']}]"

Now, $_POST['delete'] will be an array of IDs to delete.

In this part:
name="delete[{$a_Row['ID']}]"

I presume I would be including that in the echo for the checkbox elements somehow?

Something along the lines of:
echo '<input type="checkbox" name="delete[{$a_Row['ID']}]" value="1" />';

Sorry, but haven't really done too much with PHP before apart from simple things like guestbooks etc.

TIA

Stay well

Hi there

I'm specifically doing something like displaying search results up to 50
records, and I would like to be able to provide something like a checkbox
next to each of them to allow multiple records to then be deleted at one
time, but the problem seems to be that either either checkbox needs to be
assigned a different name, or else I would need to be able to parse the URL
of the resulting page when the form is submitted since I don't seem to be
able to access something like an array of values for a form field with the shared name of the multiple checkboxes, since while it will allow me to read
from an array for the name of that form field:
$_GET['chkBox'][0]

It tells me the count for that array is only 1, and always returns the last
checked value.

Therefore, I could either try use something like javascript to populate a
hidden form field with the various values when the checkboxes are checked,
or else could try just doing something like parsing the querystring/URL
since it does get populated with something like:
chkBox=1&chkBox=2

for example...

Any thoughts on this, and thoughts on what would be the best workaround?

TIA

answer is near right.. but i have better solution..
echo '<input type="checkbox" name="delete[{$a_Row['ID']}]" value="1" />';
i change into ...
echo '<input type="checkbox" name="delete[]" value="{id}" />';

change id into the id you like to delete..
in delete.php u just type this

foreach($delete as $val)
   deleteRow($val); //function to delete id in table zz

for your info.. u should not delete the row.. better make them not active intead of delete.. if you sure the script aren't have problem.. u can delete it.. but remember to backup your DB or ELSE
*like me.. lost half DB
