Capture a checkbox value

Anon

Using PHP and mySQL I have a form with rows constructed from an array. One of the columns in the array is a checkbox. How can I count all the checkboxes in the form that are checked "on" without inserting the checkbox "on" value to a table in a mySQL database. The checkbox name is the primary key "OrderID" value from the my orders table.

To recap: what the page is for is to have a form with a the ability to delete the selected checkbox items. The only thing I'm having problems with now is getting the array to recognize which checkboxes are checked on after the submit button is pressed.

Any help is much appreciated.

You want to give the name of each of your checkboxes something like

deleteId[]

(all the same). And then make the 'value' tag of each checkbox equal to the value of the id field you want to delete.

When the user submits the form, the php array deleteId[] will contain all the ids of the checked rows.

So if the HTML code is:
//This is part of an array to create the rows
<input type="checkbox" name="OrderId[]" value="<?$fldOrderID?>">

SO using the checkboxes in a form with a submit button what would I write for an array to check for which boxes are checked and pass the checked box value to a string to put in a mySQL query to delete them. Also where would I put this within the form (i have Do..while function to create the array with checkboxes in)

Thanks for your help.
