SELECT*FROM table WHERE columnX = "any value from array"

[RLJ]

Hi all,

 

I have an array with (an undetermined number of) variables stored in it.

 

I want to write a MySQL query that SELECTS FROM table WHERE "some column" = "any value from the array"

 

So, say the array is as follows: $thearray = array('Apples','Bananas','Pears'); then I want a query that is equivalent to:

 

$sql= mysql_query 
(" 
SELECT * FROM table WHERE (columnX = 'Apples' OR columnX = 'Bananas' OR columnX = 'Pears')
")

 

But it has to work for any size array.

 

Pls help! Thanks.

SELECT . . . WHERE . . . IN()

"SELECT * FROM table WHERE field IN( "'. implode("', '", $array) . "')";
