Are you thinking about something like (off the top of my head, untested):
<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"update[]\" value=\"".$row["personID"]."\"
checked>
<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"delete[]\" value=\"".$row["personID"]."\"
checked>
for each of the people listed on your page?
Then, in the script that handles the updating stuff, you simply do a
foreach($_POST["update"] as $value){
$sql = "some UPDATE query using $value";
}
foreach($_POST["delete"] as $value){
$sql = "some DELETE query using $value";
}
to send information to the database? Depending on your requirements, you
might need to determine whether the data should be DELETEd or UPDATEd, but
that's not too tough either.
One suggestion would be to consider using radio buttons instead of
checkboxes to prevent somebody from accidentally checking both DELETE and
UPDATE then causing some sort of problem.
Hope this helps.
P.S. What the heck does chocka mean?
