Question

I have 3 id in a string:

  let $x="6,3,5"

I want to get all color information from tbl_color where color id are

6, 3 and 5.

I made this query, but does not work. What’s wrong with this?

$sql=" SELECT * FROM tbl_color WHERE color_id IN(".explode(',',$x).")

please suggest the right query

Answer 1

explode() takes a string and turns it into an array. You already have a string. All you need to do is change your statement and just include $x in your string. You don’t need to explode it.

UPDATE:

Per your comment, here is how I would do it:

$x="3,4,5";
$sql=" SELECT * FROM tbl_color WHERE color_id IN(".$x.");";

HTH,
