PHP - Using PDO with IN clause array

PDO is not good with such things. You need to create a string with placeholders dynamically and insert it into the query, while binding array values the usual way. With positional placeholders it would be like this:

$in  = str_repeat('?,', count($in_array) - 1) . '?';
$sql = "SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE my_value IN ($in)";
$stm = $db->prepare($sql);
$stm->execute($in_array);
$data = $stm->fetchAll();

In case there are other placeholders in the query, you could use the following approach (the code is taken from my PDO tutorial):

You could use array_merge() function to join all the variables into a single array, adding your other variables in the form of arrays, in the order they appear in your query:

$arr = [1,2,3];
$in  = str_repeat('?,', count($arr) - 1) . '?';
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE foo=? AND column IN ($in) AND bar=? AND baz=?";
$stm = $db->prepare($sql);
$params = array_merge([$foo], $arr, [$bar, $baz]);
$stm->execute($params);
$data = $stm->fetchAll();

In case you are using named placeholders, the code would be a little more complex, as you have to create a sequence of the named placeholders, e.g. :id0,:id1,:id2. So the code would be:

// other parameters that are going into query
$params = ["foo" => "foo", "bar" => "bar"];

$ids = [1,2,3];
$in = "";
$i = 0;// we are using an external counter 
// because the actual array keys could be dangerous
foreach ($ids as $item)
{
    $key = ":id".$i++;
    $in .= "$key,";
    $in_params[$key] = $item; // collecting values into a key-value array
}
$in = rtrim($in,","); // :id0,:id1,:id2

$sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE foo=:foo AND id IN ($in) AND bar=:bar";
$stm = $db->prepare($sql);
$stm->execute(array_merge($params,$in_params)); // just merge two arrays
$data = $stm->fetchAll();

Luckily, for the named placeholders we don't have to follow the strict order, so we can merge our arrays in any order.

Not near a terminal to check, but I believe you have to type bind it to INT and send it in as an INT, not as "b010101" (or whatever):

$sql='INSERT INTO test(id,data) VALUES(:id,:bit)';
$stmt=db::db()->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bindValue('id', null, PDO::PARAM_NULL);
$stmt->bindValue('bit', (int)$value, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$stmt->execute();

Quick check on Google brought up this similar previous answer.

I FIXED THE ERROR. The solution for anyone out there is simple, the PHP explode function was used to split the contents of a textarea into separate lines but it doesn't work if you use explode() with PHP_EOL. PHP EOL tells you the server's newline character from what I understand. I used the preg_split instead to perform the splitting and it works on both my localhost that runs on Windows and my server that runs on Linux. Thank you everyone for your help!!!

$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$host;dbname=$db;charset=$charset", $user, $pass);
                $conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
                if(isset($_POST["busnumber"], $_POST["busroute"])){
                    $stops = preg_split("/\r\n|\r|\n/", $_POST['busroute']);
                    $sql = 'SELECT * FROM stops WHERE stop_name LIKE :stop';
                    $statement = $conn->prepare($sql);
                    foreach($stops as $stop){
                        $statement->bindValue(':stop', $stop);
                        $statement->execute();
                        while($result = $statement->fetch()){
                            echo $result['stop_id'].' '.$result['stop_name'].'</br>';
                        }
                    }
                }
