One thing that you could do is take your array and implode it into a string.

php Code:

$strcat = implode(', ', $arrcat);

// For example say you have a sample array 
// that looks like this:
//   $arrcat = array(1, 3, 5);
// The first step will take the array 
// and implode it into $strcat like so:
// $strcat = '1, 3, 5';

Then use that string in the query for the criteria (Note the use of the IN keyword:

php Code:

$sql = 'SELECT PO.strTitle, PO.bFeatured, PO.strPreview, PO.strFile, PO.dateCreated AS tsCreated, DATE_FORMAT(PO.dateCreated, '%b, %D %Y %l:%i %p') AS dateCreated, PO.nPostId, PO.nPostType, PO.strPost, PO.strAbout, PO.nViews, CA.strCategory, CA.nCategoryId, CA.nParentCategoryId FROM tblposts PO INNER JOIN tblcategories CA ON CA.nCategoryId = PO.nCategoryId WHERE CA.nCategoryId IN ('.$strcat.') AND PO.bFeatured = 1';
