Question

$query = $query."AND `category` != '(1,2)') ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT $a , $b" ;

Long story short, can’t find the right syntax for the above (1,2) and i don’t want to write over with another AND because there may apear more values in future.

Hope somebody can help me ;).

Answer 1

You should use NOT IN operator.

$query = $query."AND `category` NOT IN (1,2)) ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT $a , $b" ;
