Delete Multiple items with checkboxes

[Jorge Ferreira]

Hello all,

I'm sorry for posting this because you probably answered this question a
million times, but i didn't got my script to run yet.

I'm using:

- PHP 4.3.4
- Mysql
- Apache 2

So the problem is that when i try to know witch checkboxes were hit, php
only returns the last one: imagine that you checked the 10,11,12 and 13;
it only sees the 13.
The code is something like this:
<?
$sql = "Select id from table";
$rst = mysql_query($sql);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($rst))
{
?>
<input type="checkbox" name="check" id="<? echo($row["id"])?>">
<?
}
?>

and then, when you want to know witch ones were hited,

<? echo $check ?>
And it was supposed to write (10,11,12,13) right?
The problem is he only echoes the 13.

Can you help, please?

Jorge Ferreira

Two options:

1) Give each field a different name:

check1, check2, check3...

2) Append "[]" to name to force several fields to be treated as an array

name="check[]"

use it like this then php gets an array back after posting

<input type="checkbox" name="check[]" value="<? echo($row["id"])?>">
