By default a checked checkbox has the value of 'on' but this can be changed to anything. So for example: <input type="checkbox" name="id[]" value="444"> One can use IN to delete them all, for example: $ids = implode(',', $_POST['id']); $sql = "DELETE FROM divx WHERE id IN ($ids)"; Anyway, you mention $del so you should make sure that this variable even exists as for it to exist automatically you need the register_globals directive to be on. Odds are it's off and you should code with it off. I assume we are using method="POST" in the form. See: http://www.php.net/variables.external Debugging101 would have you do: print $sql; And lastly, posting a TON of code won't get you very far. I just ignored it and based my response on the one above. Regards, Philip Olson -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
