Take a look at the below code

[code]SELECT * FROM artists WHERE ID IN (1,4,7,21,51) LIMIT 0,5[/code]

I'm sure you know what thats doing..

Well, ive just spend an hour trying to get this working..

[code]SELECT * FROM artists WHERE username IN (ste,jeff,peter) LIMIT 0,3[/code]

I can only assume the IN() stuff works with numbers only?

If not, what am i doin wrong, if so... how can I replicate the function but querying for usernames rather than ID's

Thanks
