How can the SQL query be structured to avoid repetition of quotation marks around the array element?

When constructing an SQL query that includes an array of values, it can be tedious to manually add quotation marks around each array element. One way to avoid this repetition is to use the implode function in PHP to join the array elements with commas and then wrap the entire string in single quotes before inserting it into the SQL query. 

// Example array of values
$values = ['value1', 'value2', 'value3'];

// Implode the array elements with commas and wrap the string in single quotes
$implodedValues = "'" . implode("','", $values) . "'";

// Construct the SQL query with the imploded values
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE column IN ($implodedValues)";
