Array in SQL Query? [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can try use of IN in your WHERE clause,

SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE title IN ('hi', 'there', 'everybody');

or

SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE title IN ('.implode(',', $myarray).');

Answer 2

$myarray[1] = "hi";
$myarray[2] = "there";
$myarray[3] = "everybody";

//every quoted string should be escaped according to SQL rules
foreach($myarray as $key => $val) {
  $myarray[$key] = mysql_real_escape_string($val);
}

$in_str = "'".implode("', '", $myarray)."'"; //makes format 'hi', 'there', 'everybody' 

SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE title IN ($in_str);

Answer 3

You can us the IN operator. You want it to look like:

title IN ('hi', 'there', 'everybody')

So you'd do something like:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE title IN '" . implode("','", $myarray) . "';"

Note that you need to filter your array for SQL injection issues first.

Answer 4

You can use mysql's IN-function

EDIT: As amosrevira said, you need to escape you strings in the array.

$myarray[1] = "'hi'";
$myarray[2] = "'there'";
$myarray[3] = "'everybody'";

$newarray = implode(", ", $myarray); //makes format 'hi', 'there', 'everybody' 

SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE title IN ($newarray);
