How can I add a space to the end of a varchar string in mysql? I can't seem to do it directly, and I tried str_pad and other things, but no luck so far. The db doesnt hold the value of the space...its getting trimmed somewhere(?)
The reason I want to do this is so I can search for exact matches on one word strings without stemming: ...WHERE name LIKE '$var %'. If the user types 'Wash' I don't want any matches for 'Washington', 'Washing', etc. Thank You All __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
