About checkboxes in form

[Anon]

Hi,

I have a form that displays information which is generated dynamically. Now I want the user to select the information which they dont want to view and delete the selected information from the database. The PROBLEM Im facing is that if the user selects the last check-box say number 6 it deletes item#1, if the user selects box# 3 and 5 it deletes item# 1 and 2. I dont know how to tackle this problem.

Your Help is appreciated.

I had a similar problem with a mail program - it was reported after someone tried to delete all the mail they didn't want via check boxes, and ended up deleting everything they hadn't selected.... I spent the remainder of that day under my desk 🙂

The problem was the increment in my for loop was taking place before the next action took place.

Have a look at your increments when you're looping with delete - try and echo them and see where it's going wrong.

Hope this helps!
