[RESOLVED] Looping Submit problems

[NZ_Kiwis]

I have a code which displays all the records in my db, everyone gets a checkbox the name is the id of the db row...

this is all in a form. when the user clicks submit it will delete all those which have been ticked.

How can I do this?

what have you got sofar?

In short, what I'd do:

When you create the form, for the checkboxes, use one name:

<input type="checkbox" name="person[<?php echo $id?>]">

Then you can just loop through the submitted array:

in the recieving page:

$person = $_POST['person'];
if(is_array($person)
  {
   foreach($person as $key=>$value)
    {
     echo $key." = ".$value;
    {
  }

that should get you started, i hope

main page

<form method="POST" action="action.php">
$headers = imap_headers($link);
$x = 1;
foreach ($headers as $val) {
echo "<input type='checkbox' name='mailid[$x]' value='ON'>";
}
<input type="submit" value="Delete Mail" name="submit" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 8pt; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #000000; background-color: #000000">
</form>

then

if ($submit == "Delete Mail") {


$person = $_POST['mailid']; 
if(is_array($person) 
  { // line nine is this one
   foreach($person as $key=>$value) 
    { 
     echo $key." = ".$value; 
    { 
  }
echo "Delete stuff";
} elseif ...

if(is_array($person)

Needs an extra closing bracket )

if(is_array($person)){
...
}
