Hi Duncan,

This is how I implement it to create a "remove" checkbox for a list of
items

Use the item id as the index and create an array like this:



When the user submits the form, $remove will be an array containing an
element for each item that the user ticked, and the index of each
element is the id .

Just loop through the array updating your table as you go.

Hope this helps.


Best regards,

Ray
