Hi there :)
When using checkboxes you'll have to name them as an array...

><td><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"cars\"
> value=\"".$myrow[id]."\">remove</td>

I'm pretty sure it would be like:
<td><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"cars[]\"
value=\"".$myrow[id]."\">remove</td>


Hope this points you right direction ;)

Cheers, Joe:)
