// close while loop 



// Check if delete button active, start this 

if(isset($_POST['delete']))
{
   chkbox1 = $rows['id'];

for($i=0;$i<count($chkbox1);$i++){

$del_id = $chkbox1[$i];
$sql = "DELETE FROM register WHERE id='$del_id'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
}
// if successful redirect to delete_multiple.php 
if($result){
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=display_register.php\">";
}
 }








// close MySQL connection 
mysql_close();
?>

Hi,
try this in your PHP code:
- first move out of the while the echo with <form> definition
- second, the checkbox

 echo "<input type='checkbox' name='chkbox1[]' value = '".$rows['id'] ."' />";

• third - how make the delete

  if(isset($_POST['delete']))
  {
  $chkbox1 = $_POST[chkbox1];
  }
  foreach($chkbox1 as $del_id)
  {
  $sql = "DELETE FROM register WHERE id='$del_id'";
  $result = mysql_query($sql);
  }
