i have a table that display a record from the database. Using this php file i would like to display the table inside the php file. I know is something wrong with this line in my code but i don’t know how to fix it. I am trying to use a checkbox here to delete a row in my database.

here is that line of code:

echo "<td>  <input name=\"need_delete[<? echo $rows['id']; ?>]\" type=\"checkbox\" id=\"checkbox[<? echo $rows['id']; ?>]\" value=\"<? echo $rows['id']; ?>\">  </td>";

Thanks in advance !!

    The reason it’s wrong is because you’re attempting to use php code (the variables) in the middle of a string. You must first close the string and then display the variables:

    echo "<td>  <input name=\"need_delete[".$rows['id']."]\" type=\"checkbox\" id=\"checkbox[".$rows['id']."]\" value=\"".$rows['id']."\">  </td>";

    Alternatively you can close the PHP code and make it interpret as HTML (I prefer this way):

    ?><td>  <input name="need_delete[<?php echo $rows['id']; ?>]" type="checkbox" id="checkbox[<?php echo $rows['id']; ?>]" value="<?php echo $rows['id']; ?>">  </td>";<?php
