Question

I am using CodeIgniter in my application. I have a code like this

$this->db->where(‘a.PreferenceID NOT IN (SELECT PreferenceParentID
FROM ‘.$table.’ WHERE EntityID=’.$shop_id.’)’, NULL, FALSE);

I want to pass an array instead of $shop_id.

Like

$arr = array(1,3,5);

WHERE EntityID='. $arr.'

it will be equal to

WHERE (EntityID='. $arr[0].' OR EntityID='. $arr[1].' OR EntityID='. $arr[2].')

Because I want to check with multiple shop id’s. What is the best way?

Answer 1

use IN clause like

$this->db->where('a.PreferenceID NOT IN (
    SELECT PreferenceParentID FROM '.$table.' 
    WHERE EntityID IN ('.implode(",", $array).'))',
    NULL, FALSE
);
