This is hard to explain, but say if i had a mysql table that was full of names, and i used the while() thing to show them all with a checkbox next to each one that would post the id of the name, how would i get it so more than one of the names can be deleted at a time, becuase the only way i can do it a the moment is deleting one by one.

Sorry but i can't think of a better way of explaining this.

The easiest way I can think of at the moment is going through a loop of each of the form rows.
So lets say your page looks like this

Name1 []
Name2 []
([] = checkbox)

Then each checkbox would have to have a unique name, you will have to have a loop and name the checkbox according to the iteration, so like the first checkbox would probably be named id[0], then next one id[1], and then in the PHP it will all be submitted as an array, so you can do:

PHP Code:

foreach($_POST['id'] as $key => $val) {
   ...
} 


And do your deleting query in there. Hoped that helped, I know there is better methods to do it but right now I can't think of any because I just woke up
So maybe I'll come back in a few hours if you haven't gotten a reply and put up a full example, heh.
