"where_not_in" -- Am I an idiot?

Hi, i'm using the active record class as such:

Code:

$this->db->where_not_in('id', $id);

...

Code:

$this->db->get('the_table');

Which should be excluding that particular ID from the result, right? Wrong - all ids are coming back What could be wrong?

Is it because you need to pass it an array as the second value (even if the array only holds one value)?

Ahh, my bad. Knew it had to be something simple.

/Thx

audiopleb is right. where_not_in() in used to create SQL such as WHERE id NOT IN('2', '42', '35') etc.

You need to either use:

Code:

$this->db->where('id !=', $id);

// or

$this->db->where_not_in('id', array($id));

In this example, the first would make more sense.

Yup yup, made a simple is_array() check in my application now to call either or.
