I tried this HTML: <input name="deleteID" value="1" type="checkbox"> <input name="deleteID" value="2" type="checkbox"> $_REQUEST['deleteID'] === the last box checked. so I did a google search and changed my HTML to: <input name="deleteID[]" value="1" type="checkbox"> <input name="deleteID[]" value="2" type="checkbox"> Now the code: for ($i = 0; $i < count($_REQUEST['deleteID']); $i++){
    echo "deleting '" . $value . "'";
} has the right count but how do I get the values out?

$_POST['deleteID'][0] will be the first checked checkbox value, $_POST['deleteID'][1] will be the second, etc. count($_POST['deleteID']) will tell you how many were checked, implode(',',$_POST['deleteID']) will give you a comma separated list, etc, etc... -- ---John Holmes...
