Issue when trying to use IN() in wpdb

Question

i have this:

$villes = \'\"paris\",\"fes\",\"rabat\"\';
$sql    = \'SELECT distinct telecopie FROM `comptage_fax` WHERE `ville` IN(%s)\';
$query  = $wpdb->         


        

Answer 1

Try this code (FIXED):

// Create an array of the values to use in the list
$villes = array("paris", "fes", "rabat");    

// Generate the SQL statement.
// The number of %s items is based on the length of the $villes array
$sql = "
  SELECT DISTINCT telecopie
  FROM `comptage_fax`
  WHERE `ville` IN(".implode(', ', array_fill(0, count($villes), '%s')).")
";

// Call $wpdb->prepare passing the values of the array as separate arguments
$query = call_user_func_array(array($wpdb, 'prepare'), array_merge(array($sql), $villes));

echo $query;

• implode()
• array_fill()
• call_user_func_array()
• array_merge()
