[SOLVED] Use php array as parameter for Postgres IN clause

Use php array as parameter for Postgres IN clause

I am trying to bind a PHP array as argument for a SQL stmt. I am using auraSQL extended PDO so it looks like this:

$php_array = ['first', 'second', 'third']
$db->fetchColumn("SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE column IN (:php_array), ['php_array' => $php_array])"

Is there a way to do that? I cannot find out how. I tried to append the $php_array as string separated with commas and wrapped in quotes but that doesn't work.

EDIT: Solution was to use AuraSql function quote like so:

 $db->fetchColumn("SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE column IN (".$db->quote($php_array).")";

Solution

Take a look at the Aura.Sql documentation for quote(), here: https://github.com/auraphp/Aura.Sql/blob/3.x/docs/getting-started.md#array-quoting

The SQL IN clause requires a comma-delimited list of values. The Aura.Sql quote() method appears to generate that for you.

You should consider using perform method.
