Question

i want find a value in one of structure in database but my code not work properly

// $dir_id = 2;
// dirs (in database) = 1,2,3

SELECT * FROM `items` WHERE (id='$id' && $dir_id IN(`dirs`)) ORDER BY `id` DESC

but this code cant find 2 it just find 1 in dirs

how i can resolve this ?

Answer 1

In the IN you will past the list of ids you want to match for example

AND dirs IN (1,2,3,4,5)

With your example:

SELECT * FROM `items` 
WHERE id='$id' 
AND dirs IN ('$dir_id')
ORDER BY `id` DESC
