Where $string = 'A, D, P'
$fstring = str_replace(',',"','",$string);
$query = "SELECT * FROM Table WHERE LEFT(column,1) IN ('$fstring')";
Some validation would be in order, but that's the basic idea. Same idea for
the original question, only you control the value of $string.

set of letter group
Hi Ramil,
I'm also facing a similar problem, I would like to get the list
based on user Input.
Please input 1st Letter of designers wanted : A, D, P
I've tried using OR but it somehow screws things up.
Cheers,

yes of course. =) just create a function that takes in two letters as a
parameter,
then build the query string from it.
function($char_begin, $char_end)
{
$q_begin = strtolower($char_begin);
$q_end = chr(ord(strtolower($char_begin))+1);
$query = "SELECT designer_name FROM designer WHERE designer_name BETWEEN
'".$q_begin."' AND '".$q_end."' ORDER BY designer_name";
//do your query here.
}
