Question

I have a PHP variable that looks like this for example:

$list = "12|421|466|501|1042|"

What I wanna do is to match each number with a field in my database table.

SELECT * FROM tableName WHERE id = any of the numbers in $list

Which is the simplest way to do this?

Answer 1

use replace to replace | into comma and remove the last | so that you could get the string in

correct format

$list = str_replace('|',',',$list);
$query = "select * from table where ID in ($list)";
