my record deleted fine finally. Evidently, I don't understand how the <input type=checkbox> works entirely. This is my code I have for this:
<td align='right'>Delete Record?</td>
<td align='left'><input type='checkbox' name='remove' value='ON'>Yes</td>
in the next page:
$remove=$_POST['remove'];
if ($remove) {
$delete_sql = "delete from August2004Releases where ID=".$ID;
$sql_exec = odbc_exec($cnx, $delete_sql);
return 0;
}
