I search my sql table using in:

videos.category in ($categoriesSelected)

I pass through the categories based on what a user selects. Sometimes when a user selects no categories I want all videos to be displayed, Ive tried changing the $categoriesSelected var to * but no luck.

Will I have to do a seperate query taking out ‘in’ for when I want to display all, or is there a way to change $categoriesSelected to display all? Note, I do not want to just prefil it with the names of all my categories as this constantly changes via a CMS.

    If your query is built dynamically and you happen to not escape the value of $categoriesSelected
    you could try videos.category IN (videos.category).

    Note: this is a dummy hack and you better rewrite the whole section of code that builds the query.
