Here is my code –
<?php
$host = "localhost"; // Host name
$username = ""; // Mysql username
$password = ""; // Mysql password
$db_name = "test"; // Database name
$tbl_name = "test_mysql"; // Table name
// Connect to server and select databse.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password") or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name") or die("cannot select DB");
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $tbl_name";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$count = mysql_num_rows($result);
?>
<table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<table width="400" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> </td>
<td colspan="4" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><strong>Delete multiple rows in mysql</strong></td>

<tr>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">#</td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><strong>Id</strong></td>

<?php
while ($rows = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
?>
<tr>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><input name="checkbox[]" type="checkbox"
id="checkbox[]" value="<? echo $rows['id']; ?>">
</td>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><? echo $rows['id']; ?></td>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><? echo $rows['name']; ?></td>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><? echo $rows['lastname']; ?></td>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><? echo $rows['email']; ?></td>

<?php
}
?>
<tr>
<td colspan="5" align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><input name="delete" type="submit" id="delete"
value="Delete"></td>
</tr>
<?
// Check if delete button active, start this
if ($delete) {
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
$del_id = $checkbox[$i];
$sql = "DELETE FROM $tbl_name WHERE id='$del_id'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
}
// if successful redirect to delete_multiple.php
if ($result) {
echo "<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL = delete_multiple . php">";
}
}
mysql_close();
?>

</form>
</td>

What I want is that data rows of the table, whose checkboxes are checked,
to be Deleted from the Database on click of Delete button.
I have tried these but it doesn’t work well.
Please suggest me regarding the above code how to delete the selected rows
from DB, onclick of Delete button.
Theoretically it should work, but I have not tested
