 Well, it is possible to look at all the fields which match the regular
 expression /del_[0-9]+/, but you would probably be better off just doing
 something like this:
 
 <input type='checkbox' name='del[]' value='$id' id='del_$id'>
 <label for='del_$id'>Delete</label></td>
 
 And then accessing the $_POST['del'][] array that PHP will represent that
 as.
