I’m a little confused with this script I’m busy with. I would really appreciate the help. :thumb:

I created a form with an array from a database. So basically my script is reading a “list” from the database. Each item in the list shows up with a “checkbox” next to it. Each checkbox will have a name($num) which will reflect the corresponding number in the database. I have this sorted and working fine, I think. ha ha.

But what I’m a little unsure about is the next part…the next script. This form will take u to another script called “update.php”. On this script I need to retrieve the info from the last script. I need to determine which list items were checked, so the script can now delete those from the database.

I know I need to do some sort of foreach as $key =\> $value sort of thing, but not sure how to do that.

I would really love some help, please! :):):)🙂
