Hi,
I have recently gained access to mysql (new isp), and am converting my old
text databases to sql ones. I had a text database with a field 'keywords'. I
have entered them as one field, What I want to do is submit a query where I
can ask if this field CONTAINS rather than equals a string. Can you use
regular expressions in this way?
I want to have something like
$result = mysql_query ("SELECT title, keywords, description FROM documents
WHERE keywords='$word'");
but with keywords 'contains' '$word'
a bit like keywords =~ m/$word/g in perl
How would you all go about this? should I set my database up differently?
Thanks very much!
Jules
