Display magento products by category ID

Question

I need to know how can I display products in a page like (cart, below total) only few products by ID. Eg: products with id 2,3,4 and 5.

Answer 1

// print_r($productslist)
 $category_id = 14; // if you know static category then enter number

$catagory_model = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($category_id); 

$collection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection');

$collection->addCategoryFilter($catagory_model); //category filter

$collection->addAttributeToFilter('status',1); //only enabled product

$collection->addAttributeToSelect(array('name','url','small_image')); //add product attribute to be fetched

//$collection->getSelect()->order('rand()'); //uncomment to get products in random order     

$collection->addStoreFilter();          

if(!empty($collection))

{

        foreach ($collection as $_product):?>
