hi,

i have a simple form with a text box. user types some value in the
text box and i want that to be searched from the db

i want to know the correct way of putting that typed in value and use
in LIKE command in my query

this is what i have done ...

var $paginate = array(
        'conditions' => array('Book.name like' => '%$this->data[Books]
[name]%'),
                'limit' => 2,
        'order' => array(
            'Book.name' => 'asc'
        )
    );

the problem is, i m not getting $this->data[Books][name] being
replaced by the actual value .. it is taking this whole string as is
and hence not working

need guidance.

thanks in advance
