Hello,

You can do this using:

<input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox" value="records-unique-id">

If you want to make the check box be checked by default do:

<input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox" value="records-unique-id" checked>

.

When generating the table use a loop to add the check boxes and use the value (which should contain your records unique ID) to apply whatever processing you require.

Hope this helps,

This is true, altough, helping people with homework is ok, as long as we are explaining how to write the code rather that writing it for them. So your responce was pretty good.

Thread titles, however, should descripe the topic of the thread. "PHP help" is not a good title, as it explains nothing and will return nothing if our fellow members are searching for a similar problem. It is also more likely that the thread will catch the eyes of our Experts if they are propperly named.
Which is why I have edited the title of this thread.

These rules, aswell as our complete list of rules, can be found in our Posting Guidelines, which every member should read through attleast once.
