this is the code that i have wrote for deleting multiple rows from database. but on pressing delete button instead of deleting a selected row it comes back to the same page again.. so i want someone to correct my code or give me the rite code for deletion. thank you



<?php
// 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();
?>

    I have checked the link and its not an advertisement.
    But please refrain from posting links , answer in your own words. If not explain what you learn. It doesnt help pasting links from google.

    If CE is accessible so is google for everyone.
