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.
