Easy one.. :)

Make sure your checkboxes have the rowID as their value, then you can simply
do this:

$query = "DELETE FROM table WHERE rowID IN (" .
implode(',',$_POST['checkboxes']) . ")";

and run that query.

You'll end up with something that looks like this:

DELETE FROM table WHERE rowID IN (1,2,3,4,5)

where the numbers will come from only the checkboxes that you selected.
