HTML form submissions will not send you information about unselected form items. So either you need a way to regenerate the list from scratch, or you need to include the ids in a hidden field in the form itself. In the latter case, make sure to somehow protect the list of ids so that they cannot be tampered with by the form submitter -- who could otherwise just add extra ids to the list and cause potentially unwanted deletions. One way to do this would be to include a hash of the id values plus a secret key. Or encrypt the id list with some form of symmetrical encryption.
