Hi there! A little off-topic but what the heck (it's a more MySQL - related question)
Is 197* a numbertype field? Try maybe $query= "SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE Year LIKE '197*'"; /G @varupiraten.se -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: David Freedman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Skickat: den 25 februari 2005 21:28 Till: php-general@lists.php.net Ämne: [PHP] Difficulty with SQL LIKE clause When I use this query in PHP it works, and I get all things with the YEAR of 1977, as I expected. $query= "SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE Year LIKE 1977 "; But, when I use this query it does not work. $query= "SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE Year LIKE 197* "; I thought I should get the result of ALL things with the years in the 1970's (1970-1979). But the asterisk in the LIKE clause does not seem to work. I have tried various syntax's to try to get the 197* recognized but without any luck. Can the '*' be used? What am I doing wrong.
