I have an array with a lot (100-800) of id's. I want to query my database doing a lookup on the id's from my array with any matches from the database and then save the matching results in a new array.
My array:
//print_r($_POST["fb_friend_uid"])
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 263901486
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 502533736
)
)
--1. Then I try to see if any values from the array matches with records in the database - is this the correct way to do this?:
$ids = join(',',$_POST["fb_friend_uid"]);
SELECT *
FROM vote WHERE
vote_fb_uid IN ($ids)
AND DATE(FROM_UNIXTIME(vote_time)) = DATE(NOW())";
--2. Then im struggling to save the matching records in a new array - this is what ive tried with:
while($row=mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){
$savedResultsInNewArray=[$row['vote_fb_uid']];
}
Im looking to return the new array in a format of: echo json_encode($savedResultsInNewArray);
Im a bit unsure the above is the right way to do that?
