I see exactly what you have been saying - again my mind was too saturated to see clearly! :(
Anyway, just to reply one some of the questions you asked. The intention is that the user can either delete the picture indivually using the delete button next to each picture or select all and delete all. - but at the same time the user could deselect some pics - the intention is such that the user can delete a lot of pics at once. The reason my URL looks like am using a GET method is because the delete button is not a button but a link. the full view of my design is this just to explain a bit more: http://www.nabble.com/file/p19520252/untitled-2.gif I see what am doing wrong now - just to butress on your suggestions, i need to make that 'delete' button an actual button not a link - so the form can actually get submitted naturally via the POST method. From my controller retrieve the delete[] and iterate for deletion. I see clearly now. I think i got confused along the line while coding.
