Question

I am developing in symfony 1.4 using Doctrine ORM. I can’t create a NOT IN where clause using an array with ids. This is my code:

$results = Doctrine_Query::create()
  ->from('Asset a')
  ->where('a.id NOT IN (?)', implode(',', $ids))
  ->execute();

The sql for this query that is generated is this one:

WHERE (a.id NOT IN ('1,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,17,18,20,24,25,26,29,30,28'))

As you can see is treating the array filled with ids like an string. I tried also without the implode of the array but I get this error:

SQLSTATE[HY093]: Invalid parameter number: number of bound variables does not match number of tokens

The array $ids containing the excluded ids is a plain numeric one.

I can’t find out what is the correct syntax for this clause. Thanks

You have to use whereNotIn (old doc but still ok).

$results = Doctrine_Query::create()
  ->from('Asset a')
  ->whereNotIn('a.id', $ids)
  ->execute();
