I have a variable $element
whose value is:
Array ( [4] => easy [5] => easy [7] => easy [8] => will [9] => easy [10]
=> will )
I want to use this variable in my query :
$sql = "SELECT * FROM questions where type='$element'";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "id: " . $row["question_name"]. "<br>";
}
}
Actually I want to parse from each element of $element variable and present different output respectively.
First, you should call array_unique()
on $element
.
If this is trusted data that you are using and the values never contain single quotes, then you can just insert it into an IN
clause:
$sql = "SELECT question_name FROM questions WHERE `type` IN ('" . implode("','", $element) . "')";
If this is not trusted data then a prepared statement with placeholders is advisable. This is slightly convoluted for an IN
clause.
$params = $element;
$count = count($params);
$csph = implode(',', array_fill(0, $count, '?')); // comma-separated placeholders
if(!$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT question_name FROM questions WHERE `type` IN ($csph);")){
echo "Syntax Error @ prepare: " , $conn->error; // don't show to public
}else{
array_unshift($params, str_repeat('s', $count)); // prepend the type values string
$ref = []; // add references
foreach ($params as $i => $v) {
$ref[$i] = &$params[$i]; // pass by reference as required/advised by the manual
}
call_user_func_array([$stmt, 'bind_param'], $ref);
if (!$stmt->execute()) {
echo "Error @ bind_param/execute: " , $stmt->error; // don't show to public
} elseif (!$stmt->bind_result($question_name)) {
echo "Error @ bind_result: " , $stmt->error; // don't show to public
} else {
while ($stmt->fetch()) {
// do something with $question_name
}
$stmt->close();
}
}
ps If you want to know the type
value from the same row as the question_name
be sure to SELECT both columns so that they are in your resultset.
