A problem with this setup is that only checked checkboxes are sent as post data, the unchecked ones are ignored so do not appear in the $_POST superglobal.

You can use the id value of the row in the checkbox itself - don't use a hidden input.

<input type="checkbox" name="id1[<?php  echo $row["id"];  ?>]" id="id_<?php  echo $row["id"];  ?>"  value="enable" <?php   if($enable=="enable") { echo 'checked' ; }  ?> />

Or

<input type="checkbox" name="id1[]" id="id_<?php  echo $row["id"];  ?>"  value="<?php  echo $row["id"]" <?php   if($enable=="enable") { echo 'checked' ; }  ?> />

The latter is probably easiest as you can then get all the ids (checked) from this:

$checkedArray = (array) $_POST['id1']; //will give an array of id values that are checked
if(!empty($checkArray))
{
    $str = implode(",",$checkedArray);
    //run update query -see below
}

BUT that will not tell you which ones were changed from 1 to 0. You can however cover this in your SQL. I strongly suggest that you do not store the word 'enable' in your DB but change it to tinyint type and have value 1 and 0 (1 equiv to checked and 0 unchecked). So this:

<?php   if($enable=="enable") { echo 'checked' ; }  ?>

Becomes:

<?php   if($enable==1) { echo 'checked' ; }  ?>

The update query could then look like something like this:

UPDATE multiple SET `enable` = IF(id IN ($str),1,0)
