Instead of a loop on the sql queries you can loop on the array_of_uids variable and create a comma delimited string out of them e.g. in PHP you can easily use the implode function:<div>


<br></div><div>$comma_separated = implode(&quot;,&quot;, $array_of_uids);</div><div>$sql = <span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse">&quot;UPDATE products SET product_price = &#39;7.6&#39; WHERE id IN ($comma_separated)&quot;;</span></div>
