Answer 1

Try this:

mysql_query("SELECT * FROM menus WHERE active='1' AND lock IN (1 ,3) ") or die   (mysql_error());

or this:

mysql_query("SELECT * FROM menus WHERE active='1' AND (lock = 1 OR lock = 3 ") or die   (mysql_error());

Answer 2

You would use the IN keyword.

So the SQL statement would be:

SELECT * FROM menus WHERE active='1' AND lock IN ('1', '3')
