Do this: $query = "DELETE FROM temp WHERE inv_tag IN ($array)"; echo $query."<BR>\n"; $result = mysql_query($query) ... What's happening is that you are telling MySQL this: delete from temp where inv_tag in (PTX526_P_1,SIM_1) Since there are no apostrophes on PTX526_P_1, MySQL figures they must be COLUMN names. You need it to look like this: delete from temp where inv_tag in (PTX526_P_1,SIM_1) which means you need: $array = implode("','", $checkb); and then: $query = "DELETE FROM temp WHERE inv_tag IN ('$array')"; -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
