A suggestion. I don't know what language you're using but try printing
$quary to the screen before it is passed to mysql. If @inc_re is an array,
as you say, then in a lot of other languages, you're next line would be an
illegal statement. Even the first statement looks incorrect but I don't
know. Shouldn't the strings be quoted? Why do you want to create an array
in the first place? Isn't it easier with just a single string? As far as I
see it, your SQL statement is how I would see it and of course it would
result in an error. Check the manual for the language you're using for
correct syntax.
