I'm working on a PHP script which will already have gathered a large
array of string values from a text file. These values will correspond
to item numbers in a MySQL table. What I need to do is select rows in
the table based on whether or not their "item_number" values are in
the pre-existing PHP array. (The idea here is that the website's
inventory comes in as a text file. I need to compare that inventory
with the items contained within the table and disable the catalog
items which are not in current inventory.)
Something like this (obviously not real code, just an illustration of
what I'm trying to get):
SELECT * in $mytable WHERE in_array('item_number',
$arrayfromtextfile) = true
Of course, in_array() is a PHP function, but I'm hoping there is
something similar available in MySQL.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for any insight someone might provide.
