Multiple Checkboxes Help Needed

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong or that I'm not understanding
about how to do this task?

I noticed that Message-ID: <34********************************@4ax.com>
from Ralph Freshour contained the following:

You have to give the checkbox a value to return if checked. e.g
<INPUT TYPE='checkbox'
NAME="frm_chk_delete[$php_delete_counter]" value="1">

and detect like so...

if ($frm_chk_delete[$php_delete_counter] == 1)

I tried that but it only detects the first checkbox - if I have 5
records displayed and I check all 5 and then click on submit, only the
first checkbox is detected as checked, the others do not get detected.

<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="frm_chk_delete[$php_counter]"
VALUE="1">Delete

<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="frm_chk_delete[$php_counter]" .... if ($frm_chk_delete[$php_delete_counter] == 1)

'".$php_mem_name."'";
$php_resultID = mysql_query($php_SQL, $php_linkID);
$php_delete_counter = 0;
while ($php_row = mysql_fetch_object($php_resultID))

Ralph Freshour <ra***@primemail.com> wrote in message news:<34********************************@4ax.com>. .. I'm using MySQL to display data on a web page - fitting about 10
records of data per screen - I'm including a checkbox with each record
so that I can check it and when the submit button is clicked the
called .php script will delete those records that are checked.

I'm creating the records from the table with the checkboxes ok (I
think):

<INPUT TYPE='checkbox'
NAME='frm_chk_delete[$php_delete_counter]'>Delete

I use a php counter var to give each checkbox record item a unique
NAME and this seems to work OK - producing
frm_chk_delete[0]
frm_chk_delete[1]
etc.

The problem I'm having is the POST called script - I don't seem to be
detecting enabled checkboxes to delete them:

$php_mem_name = Trim(StrToLower($php_name));
$php_SQL = "SELECT * FROM basics WHERE member_name =
'".$php_mem_name."'";
$php_resultID = mysql_query($php_SQL, $php_linkID);
$php_delete_counter = 0;
while ($php_row = mysql_fetch_object($php_resultID))
{
if ($frm_chk_delete[$php_delete_counter] == 'on')
{
$php_SQL = "DELETE FROM basics WHERE member_name =
'".$php_mem_name."'";
$php_resultID = mysql_query($php_SQL, $php_linkID);
}
$php_delete_counter++;
}

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong or that I'm not understanding
about how to do this task?

Thanks...
