Re: Retrieving URL of webpage etc.

In this part:
name="delete[{$a_Row['ID']}]"

I presume I would be including that in the echo for the checkbox elements 
somehow?

Something along the lines of:
echo '<input type="checkbox" name="delete[{$a_Row['ID']}]" value="1" />';

Sorry, but haven't really done too much with PHP before apart from simple 
things like guestbooks etc.

TIA

Stay well
