building on the only reply that I saw try this also.

Say you had 12 different TYPE's that are in your table, and you only wanted
5 of them.
Then you will want something like what follows.

SELECT type, count(*) FROM table WHERE type='$1' OR type='$2' OR \
                      type='$3' OR type='$4' OR type='$5' GROUP BY type;

another way you can write this is like the following,
   but it won't take advantage of indices

SELECT type, count(*) FROM table WHERE type IN ('$1', '$2', '$3', '$4',
'$5') GROUP BY type;
