checkbox mail delete system not working out.....

[zhahaman2001]

well i have a mailing system on my website and i want it so my users while in their inbox can check each message they want deleted and click a delete button to delete it here was m idea of how to do this
(this isnt all my code but this is just to give you an idea of how i was trying to do it)
(id is a number)



//[INBOX]
$temp = mysql_query("select * from messages where owner='$user'");
while ($mail = mysql_fetch_array($temp)) {
      print "Delete<input type='checkbox' name='$mail[id]'>";
}

//[DELETE MESSAGES]
$temp = mysql_query("select * from messages where owner='$user'");
while ($mail = mysql_fetch_array($temp)) {
      if(${mail[id]} == "on"){
            mysql_query("delete from messages where id='$mail[id]'
      }
}



but ${mail[id]}  dosnt hold anything can someone tell me what im doing wrong and how to fix it
thanks...

Change to
if($_POST[$mail[id]] == "on")

Your {} are a little wierd.

You didn't need them at all though.

Did that work?
