[RESOLVED] using associative array

I need to use an array in my db query. Normally I would just do something like this:

SELECT *
FROM t1 
WHERE state IN (".$myStates.")...

Unfortunately I'm stuck. my array looks like

$myStates = array("AL","AZ","CA","CO","CT","DC","DE","FL");

I keep getting error:

Unknown column 'Array' in 'where clause'

Do something like this:

$in = "'" . implode("','", $myStates) . "'";

SELECT *
FROM t1
WHERE state IN (" . $in . ")

Incidentally, the array is more of a numerically indexed array than an associative array.

Sorry, I just updated my post. I was looking at array output via print_r but when i looked at the include it actually had

$myStates= array("AL","AZ","CA","CO","CT","DC","DE");

That makes no difference to the solution.

Yes, it worked!
