Using checkboxes to delete entries ?

[Anon]

To delete rows from my table i want to use checkboxes.

I tried but my own way don't seem to work very well. I get an enormous amounts of parse errors due to the fact that i use the id of the entries as the name of the checkbox (for example ' name="3' ).

I can use links to delete entries but i want to use checkboxes so i can delete a lot of entries at once instead of one at a time when i use links.

There has to be an easy way to use checkboxes to delete entries.
Has anyone some more information? (links, pieces of code?)

Maybe try making the name of the checkboxes action_items[] then make the value the id number then in your processing script something like

while (list ($key, $val) = each ($action_items)) {
$result = mysql_query("DELETE from tablename where id = '$val'", $db);
}
