Drupal (FAPI) Creating a CRUD html table

Question

Heya,

I am creating a module, and am creating a function that creates a html table from one of my tables in the datasbase.

function _createtable($tablename, $return = array()){

$html_table = "";

$query = 'SELECT * FROM {'.$tablename.'}';

$count = 10;

$pager = pager_query($query, $count);

$results = db_query($query);

if (db_affected_rows() > 0 ) {

    $html_table .= "<table>";

    $html_table .= "<tr>";

    foreach ($return as $key){

        $html_table .= "<th><h5><b>". ucwords($key) ."</b></h5></th>";  

    }

    $html_table .= "<th><h5><b>Options</b></h5></th>";

    $html_table .= "</tr>";

    $i = 1;

    while($result = db_fetch_object($pager)){

        if ($i % 2 != "0"){ 

                $rowColor = "#ededed";
            }

            else {

                $rowColor = "";

            }

        $html_table .= "<tr style=\"background-color:$rowColor;\">";

        foreach ($return as $key){

            $html_table .= "<td>" . $result->$key . "</td>";

        }

        $html_table .= "<td>" . drupal_get_form('_tablebuttons', 'SOMEVALUETOPASS') . "</td>";

        $html_table .= "</tr>";

        $i++;

    }

    $html_table .= "</table>";

}

else {

    drupal_set_message (t('Currently there are no results in the database.'));
}

return $html_table . theme('pager' , $count);

}

Basically all this does is takes the field names and prints a table. What I need it to do is have and EDIT DELETE and a TICKBOX. So I created a form called htmlbuttons. As you can see every time a row is generated it creates the buttons in that row. Which is fine for edit and delete.

BUT how would I do multiple tick boxes? Because each row is an individual form. Can you capture the input from all the forms in one go if they are ticked? How would I then connect a form button to grab all that input?

Anyone have any Ideas how to do this in Drupal or any better Ideas on how to create a CRUD html table? I sort of need phpmyadmin functionality in the page but need it to be more simple and part of my module. I dont want to use other modules to create pages.

Any Ideas?
