adding multiple item delete button

Greetings I was trying to add a multi delete function on the results page but to no avail. I have used http://www.webassist.com/tutorials/Create-a-multiple-record-delete-form and when tried to delete something it doesn't work even on a live server as seen here http://www.betatestpage.com/sample2/sample_form_delete.php.

this example is really easy to use and is perfect for what I need to have done.

Please attach a copy of the page. I'd have to look at the php to see why it might not work.

here is the page but its from the tutorial

Your checkboxes don't have a value. Try adding value="1" to the checkboxes.

i added this

<input type="checkbox" value="1" name="checkbox_<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_1; ?>" id="checkbox_<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_1; ?>" />

and still no change. here is the updated page attached as well not sure if that helps or not

You have spaces in your form submit button. You can't have spaces in the name.

Update the name and id attributes of the button on line 126 so they don't use spaces. Then update the trigger on line 42 to match the name.

greetings I did update both lines and im still getting it to were it dumps the whole db not single items or multiple items.

It looks like this is set up to delete any records where the GenreName matches a field entered into one of the form fields named "name".... I don't think that is what you want. I think you wanted to use the checkbox field and you should set its value to the ID of the record you want deleted.

that worked perfectly.


thank you for the help Ray
