I need to add a comment field that appends to the line being removed
in the code below, can someone help me out

<html>

The text field needs to be before the check box and would be for
comments. The user would need to be able to enter this themselves and
a single entry for each box check (marked to be removed from the first
file and moved the the "deleted" file). But also be able to enter
entries for multiple records at once. The comments should be appended
to the line when being "moved" to the "deleted" file. Right now, you
can checked multiple boxes and all the "checked" records are moved to
the "deleted" file, I do not want to lose that function or the ability
to check all the records at once to be removed. The end result should
be a new column that is a text area that appends to the file once
checked for removal.

There is no answer at this time.

So, you want a textbox to add comments next to each item that will be
in the list? and you want to beable to store each item that has been
commented?

I am a little bit hazy on what exactly you want, please elaborate a little more.

You are correct, that is exactly what I need. To be able to store the
comment for each item that has been commented.

Ok, I used some of the already modified code and made some "home
brewed code" and this is what I came up with:

    <td><center><b><h1><a href='index.php'><font

    <td><div align="right"><a href='resolved.php'><font
color="#000000">Past Posts</font></a></div></td>

  </tr>
<table border="1" width="100%" >

// [ DELETE ROUTINE ]
	if($_POST['action'] == "delete"){ // delete triggered
		$arrToDelete = $_POST['todelete']; // assign checked items array to var

to test it. If you would like however I would consider working with
you to get it to work correctly.

You may reach me though email at: thegreatall[at]gmail.com

into the text file from the comment field text box.
