form - checkbox

[________]

Hi,
I got a problem with a mail script that I'm building.

When the user views the inbox, there is a checkbox infront of every mail, like hotmail.com. If the user want to delete some mails, he clicks the boxes and submit the form!

The problem is, I need know what boxes that have been checked and put it into a loop that deletes the mail.

Eg. If the user checks mail1, mail2, mail15 and mail18 - and submits the form - I need to get the values into a loop - somthin like:

while($delete){
imap_delete ($inbox, $delete);
Do something to find the next value
}

Help 😕

Try setting all your delete boxes to name="delete[]". This creates the array. Then for value, use the name of the email. So something like

<input type="checkbox" name="delete[]" value="mail1">
<input type="checkbox" name="delete[]" value="mail2">
<input type="checkbox" name="delete[]" value="mail15">
<input type="checkbox" name="delete[]" value="mail18">

So if they checked all of these, once submitted, you'll have an array of things to delete in $_POST['delete'].
