this's coding
deleteprocessor.php

if(isset($_POST['delete'])) {
foreach($_POST['checkbox'] as $Name)
{
$query=mysql_query ("DELETE FROM tblprocessor WHERE Name='.$Name.'");

}

if (($query)){
    echo "<meta http-equiv='Refresh' content='1; url=dataprocessor.php'>\n";
    mysql_close($conn); 
    } } 
    ?>

Well to start,
when you echo out your input checkbox, don't set id="delete". This will give all your inputs the same id of "delete"
and that is bad html code.. If you want to assign delete to all you checkbox input's use a class

So change: <tr><td>Bil</td><td>Name</td><td><input id='delete' value='delete' title="select or deselect all message'></td></tr>
To:
<tr><td>Bil</td><td>Name</td><td><input class='delete' value='delete' title="select or deselect all message'></td></tr>

This will set your html correct.
To take this functionality further, you can use ajax to run your delete statment.
First, you will need to add a unique identifier foreach checkbox that is outputted to the screen. The record id from the database would be a good id.

Like so:
<tr><td>Bil</td><td>Name</td><td><input id='". $row['id'] ."' class='delete' value='delete' title="select or deselect all message'></td></tr>
This gives you a target for ajax to send back to your delete script.
I use jQuery.

$('.delete').on('click', function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    var id = $(this).attr('id'); // Get the id of the checkbox input
    $.ajax({
    url: 'deletescript.php',
    type: 'POST',
    data: 'id: id',
    success: function(data){
    alert('Record has been deleted');
    }
    });
});

You may have to play around with the event being fired.. "click" or "change" event will need to be used.

thanks
