SocomNegotiator Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Ok this is what I have. I am not getting an error at all. What happens is that when I select an item to delete and hit the delete button the page just refreshes and that's it. The item or items that were checked do not get deleted. I am getting a value for <?=$row['id']?> so that is not the problem. Something is happening where the page is loosing the post. Because when I do echo $del_id; I get nothing. However, if I hardcore a number into the query like $del = $db->query("DELETE FROM `guide_order` WHERE id = '3'"); it works just fine. <?php while($row = $db->fetch_array()) { ?> <form id='order_form1' action='?page=guide' method='post'> <input type='hidden' name='pre_id' value='<?=$row['id']?>'/> <tr> <td align='center'><input type='text' name='amount' size='5' value='<?=$row['amount']?>' /></td> <td align='center'><?=$row['name']?></td> <td align='center'><input type='text' name='priority' size='5' value='<?=$row['priority']?>' /></td> <td align='center'><input name="checkbox[]" type="checkbox" value="<?=$row['id']?>"></td> </tr> </form> <?php } ?><br /> </table> <form id='order_form' action='?page=guide' method='post'> <input type='hidden' name='user_id' value='<?=$user_id?>'/><br /> Delivery Date: <input type="text" name="deliver" size="20" /><br /><br /> <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit Order'/> <input name="delete" type="submit" value="Delete"> <?php // Check if delete button active, start this $delete = $_REQUEST['delete']; if( $delete != '' ){ $checkbox = $_REQUEST['checkbox']; $count = count($_REQUEST['checkbox']); for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){ $del_id = $checkbox[$i]; $del = $db->query("DELETE FROM `guide_order` WHERE id = '$del_id'"); } // if successful redirect if($del){ echo "<html><head><meta HTTP-EQUIV=\"Refresh\" CONTENT=\"1; URL=index.php?page=guide\"></html>"; } } ?> </form> Any help would be much appreciated.

matto Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 why are you generating a new <form> for each record in your while loop ? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/131281-solved-php-delete-multiple-checkboxes/#findComment-681678 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SocomNegotiator Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 why are you generating a new <form> for each record in your while loop ? Because I have an update button for each individual item.

matto Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 you don't need a new <form> each time. <form methos="post" action="somepage.php"> <?php while($row = $db->fetch_array()) { //generate each checkbox and whatever else... } ?> </form> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/131281-solved-php-delete-multiple-checkboxes/#findComment-681687 Share on other sites More sharing options...
