Re: Delete

Yes, that checkbox idea is exactly what I was thinking about. Exept I have no idea how my program would tell one checkbox from the other, and delete the wrong thing... On 6/4/06, tedd <tedd@sperling.com> wrote:

So I do assign an id to each blog post, and it is auto_increment, so in my blog delete page, it would display all the blog title's and a delete button nex to it. So lets say I click delete on the third entry. How would my program know to delete THAT entry and not another one? Your specific question of "how to delete" I am sure other will provide, but consider this idea. If you have a page that shows blog entries, then why not have an admin page that shows exactly the same thing except if has check-boxes next to the posts? And, if you check any of those and click "Submit", then those entries will be deleted from the database -- simple, plus you already have most of the code. :-) I had a similar problem and was designing an admin page that would do the things I wanted (add/delete/alter items) when it dawned on me that all I needed was a check-box and a submit button added to my main display page.
