Since they have the same name, you can only access one of them. You can
either name them all differently, or you can name them as an array, i.e.
name="ID[]" and PHP will treat them as an array. You would then need to
concatenate the array elements into a string, perhaps something like
this:

$query="SELECT * FROM sometable WHERE ID IN (".
join(",",$_GET['ID']). ")";

I am fairly new to PHP, and any programming for that matter, so I appreciate
your time and patience.

I would place the code you provided that concentrates the array elements in
the the selected.php page correct?

The result would then be to have each URL element to have a unique name,
correct? Such as ID0, ID1, ID2.

Thanks again
