Bulk action using PHP for mysql entries

Question

We are showing results in a table from a MySQL database with checkboxes inside it. How can we delete many rows simultaneously if the user ticks 5 rows and clicks the delete button?

HTML:

<form method="post">

    <input type="checkbox" name="id[]" value="123" /> Element 1 <br/>
    <input type="checkbox" name="id[]" value="5434" /> Element 2 <br/>
    <input type="checkbox" name="id[]" value="24" /> Element 3 <br/>
    <input type="checkbox" name="id[]" value="76" /> Element 4 <br/>

    <input type="submit" value="delete" />

</form>

PHP:

if ( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST' ) {

  $ids = array_walk($_POST['id'], 'intval');
  mysql_query('DELETE FROM table WHERE id IN (' . implode(',', $ids) . ')');

}

P.S. I want points !
