Here is my normal sql query using implode function:
SELECT * from search_result WHERE skills IN ('".implode("','",$s_id)."');
Now I want to convert this to codeigniter form. I tried the following code but it fails
$this->db->from('search_result');
$this->db->where_in('skills','".implode("','",$s_id)."');
$query = $this->db->get();
Here is my $s_id
array:
Array ( [0] => 2D Design [1] => 3D Design [2] => 3D Modelling )
So anyone please help me to do this. Thanks in advance :)
Official Doc say's
$names = array('Frank', 'Todd', 'James'); # Data Array
$this->db->where_in('username', $names); # passing array
Try like below
Method 01(recommended )
$this->db->from('search_result');
$this->db->where_in('skills',$s_id);
$query = $this->db->get();
Method 02
$this->db->from('search_result');
$this->db->where_in('skills',implode("','",$s_id));
$query = $this->db->get();
Whats wrong on this line
$this->db->where_in('skills','".implode("','",$s_id)."');
don't wrap function with '
or "
quotes. Then it will get save as STRING value to DB.

where_in
clause in codeigniter.com
You can just write this :
$this->db->from('search_result');
$this->db->where_in('skills', $s_id);
$query = $this->db->get();
Official doc
$names = array('Frank', 'Todd', 'James');
$this->db->where_in('username', $names);
// Produces: WHERE username IN ('Frank', 'Todd', 'James')
