Mysql where id is in array

Your query translates to:

SELECT name FROM users WHERE id IN ('Array');

Or something to that affect.

Try using prepared queries instead, something like:

$numbers = explode(',', $string);
$prepare = array_map(function(){ return '?'; }, $numbers);
$statement = mysqli_prepare($link , "SELECT name FROM users WHERE id IN ('".implode(',', $prepare)."')");
if($statement) {
   $ints = array_map(function(){ return 'i'; }, $numbers);
   call_user_func_array("mysqli_stmt_bind_param", array_merge(
      array($statement, implode('', $ints)), $numbers
   ));
   $results = mysqli_stmt_execute($statement);
   // do something with results 
   // ...
}

$string="1,2,3,4,5";
$array=array_map('intval', explode(',', $string));
$array = implode("','",$array);
$query=mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT name FROM users WHERE id IN ('".$array."')");

NB: the syntax is:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE column IN('value1','value2','value3')

Change

$array=array_map('intval', explode(',', $string));

To:

$array= implode(',', array_map('intval', explode(',', $string)));

array_map returns an array, not a string. You need to convert the array to a comma separated string in order to use in the WHERE clause.
