Is there a php equivalent to mySQL's IN?

Question

In writing select statements in mySQL, if I want to pull records where a column value equals one of a number of values, I can say something like this:

SELECT * F         


        

Answer 1

yes, It is in_array

You can check the value if it is in array.

$categories =array(1,5,7);
if (in_array($category, $categories))
{
  //do stuff
}
