I usually do it like this:
messages.html:
<form action="deletemsg.php" method="post">
<input type="checkbox" name="msgID[]" value="1" checked>
<input type="checkbox" name="msgID[]" value="2" checked>
<input type="checkbox" name="msgID[]" value="3" checked>
....
<input type="checkbox" name="msgID[]" value="x" checked>
<input type="submit" value="Delete them!">
</form>
deletemsg.php:
<?php
$idarray = '(' . implode(',', $_POST['msgID']) . ')';
$query = "DELETE FROM `table` WHERE msgID IN $idarray";
// Process query here
?>
