Delete All function

[unemployment]

I made a private messaging system.  There is a select all checkbox, but how do I create a function that says delete all of the selected messages?

 

I'm just looking for some logic on this.

Can you show some of your code? I might be able to point you in the right direction...

This is the code that does that individual delete

<td class="center"><a href="messaging.php?action=delete&cid=<?php echo $conversation['id']; ?>"><img src="assets/img/delete.png" alt="Delete" title="Delete" />

 

Does this help?

I dont see any check boxes...

<td><label><input type="checkbox" name="delete_select" onclick="selectone();" id="box<?php echo $conversation['id']; ?>" />

I find it easier to work with an array for check boxes. Look at the example below.

<?php

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST")
{
$box = $_POST['myCheckBox'];
foreach($box as $checked)
{
	//delete($checked);
                print_r($checked);
                echo "<hr>";
}

}
else
{
//do something get
?>
<form target="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
	<input type="checkbox" name="myCheckBox[]" value="1">
	<input type="checkbox" name="myCheckBox[]" value="2">
	<input type="checkbox" name="myCheckBox[]" value="3">
	<input type="submit">
</form>
<?
}

You have actually confused me tremendously.

Im sorry... kind of working in the dark with the amount of code your providing.

 

If you can give me a bigger picture (More of your code....) I can problem write in a method there for you.
