How to select and fetch from a comma saperated value mysql php?

Question

I have a value

$id=10,12,4,45; //these are ids of all the products in product table

Now I want to show (echo) products' names which are given in this single variable.

Something like:

query="SELECT description from product where id ='$id' ";

How do I do that?

@u_mulder I think (and I hope) this isn't stored in DB, this is the content of a php variable — Cid, Mar 19 '19 at 10:22

Use find_in_Set()

SELECT description from product where find_in_set(id,'$id')
