According to your code, if the checkbox next to the word 'remove' is checked, then the value of $cars passed to the form is "checkbox". Then in the done2.php3 page, you are trying to delete where checkbox='array of values listed'. Is there a field in your database called checkbox? If so, what field type is it set to? If not, there is your problem.
