deleting muliple feilds from a table using an array

example code: //implode the value of the submitted form //$del will look like 38, 40, 43 $del = implode(",", $idd); //create query for the deletion of values from submited form $query = "delete From news where id = '$del'"; //execute query mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); //echo sucess message echo("<b><center>The Post has been deleted...</b></center>"); here is what my problem is... This code will only delete the first value of $idd. what i think is wrong is i have the incorrect syntax to delete multiple feilds from a table if some one can help me it would be greatly appreactiated.
