Pulling a data from array of checkboxes

[sharapov]

I am passing a value of checkboxes on a form to a new page like this (see example here: http://www.gibsonusa.com/test/check/)
In a new page how can I pull the data from a MySQL database according to each value I passed from a previous page? In other words: Assume that the value of a checkbox equal to the ID of the record in a database. The value of checkbox 1 (for example) is 12345 and the value of checkbox2 is 67890. After passing those values to a new page how can I pull the rest of the information from a database?

You want the IN clause.

select whatever from some_table where the_id in ( 1, 2, 5, 89094037 ) order by whatever;

example:

page1.php

<form action="page2.php" method="post">
<input type="checkbox" name="check_me" value="12345"> 12345
<input type="checkbox" name="check_me_2" value="67890"> 67890
<input type="submit" value=" Submit ">
</form>

page2.php

<?
$sql = "select * from check_items where check_item_id in (" . $POST['check_me'] . ", " . $POST['check_me_2'] . ")";

query as usual

?>
