What are some alternative approaches to using PHP to filter MySQL query results based on an array of values?

When filtering MySQL query results based on an array of values in PHP, one alternative approach is to use the `implode()` function to convert the array of values into a comma-separated string and then use it in the `IN` clause of the SQL query. This approach allows you to dynamically generate the list of values to filter the query results. 

// Array of values to filter
$filterValues = [1, 2, 3, 4];

// Convert array to comma-separated string
$filterString = implode(',', $filterValues);

// SQL query with IN clause
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name IN ($filterString)";

// Execute the query and fetch results
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $sql);

// Loop through the results
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    // Process each row
}
