Not sure what i'm doing wrong here

two tables, DATES and SESSIONS.

DATES includes a list field that allows multiple SESSIONS to be selected - field name is related_sessions.

On the public DATES page, I'm trying to load all of the related_sessions

// load record from 'dates'
list($date, $dateMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName'   => 'dates',
'where'       => whereRecordNumberInUrl(0),
'loadUploads' => true,
'allowSearch' => false,
'limit'       => '1',
));
$date = @$date[0]; // get first record
if (!$date) { header('Location: /'); exit; }

// load records from 'sessions'
list($related_sessions, $related_sessionsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName'   => 'sessions',
'where' => "num LIKE '%\t". $date['related_sessions'] ."\t%'" , 
'loadUploads' => true,
'allowSearch' => false,
));

with debug on:

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS `sessions`.*
FROM `cms_sessions` as `sessions`
 WHERE (num LIKE '% 1048 1047 %') AND `sessions`.hidden = 0 
 ORDER BY date_time DESC,location,type

Not record are returned.

Hi,

It seems your related_sessions field is a multi-select field. Try getting the related_sessions value csv string first by explode() and use "num IN ()" instead.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Trying the following, but not working...

$related_sessions = explode("\t",$page['related_sessions']);

and...

'where' => "num IN ($related_sessions)", 

getting this...

Try this: $related_sessions = implode(',', explode("\t",$page['related_sessions']))

Okay it seems that multi value field contains extra spaces. Try replace explode() with this one: preg_split('/[\t]/', trim($page['related_sessions']))
