Just a security remark:
Is this approach safe for SQL-injection?
Bad guys might send other stuff in the subm-array than numbers...
I am always better safe than sorry, and loop over the results, parse them,
and then feed them to the query.
Something like this:
$id = array();
foreach($_POST["subm"] as $oneNum){
$id[] = (int)$oneNum;
}
$ids = implode(",",$id);
$query = "SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `ID` IN ($ids)";
etc..
A little bit slower probably, but at least the $id[] and the corresponding
$ids string contains only numbers.
