It does work:

        junk=# select * from ci order by f1;
         f1
        -----
           5
          34
          45
          67
          69
         123
        (6 rows)

        junk=# select * from ci where f1 = any ('{34,123,5}') order by
        f1;
         f1
        -----
           5
          34
         123
        (3 rows)

In your original function definition, you declared the function as
taking (varchar, varchar).  I think that should be (varchar,
varchar[]).  If you haven't changed that, you are passing an array of
varchars into a parameter that expects a scalar varchar.
