Checkbox in first cell of each row in an html table displaying mysql query results

Question

I have a simple HTML table display of data that results from an MySQL query. I would like to have a checkbox in the first cell of each row.

I am asking for some suggestions as to where I might go looking for information on how to make this interactivity possible, as I'm sure this is not a "quick-answer" type of question.

Thank you, Ignacio. None of my books, so far as I can tell, have an example of this. Would your code go directly into a cell in the HTML table, or would I need to re-do the whole query output as a form?

Both. The table would be embedded in a form. Iterate through the rows using the appropriate element for the value, and then on the flipside look at $_POST['rowid'] in order to get the selected IDs.
