I'm writing an SQL query in a php 4.0 script. The query pulls data from an MS Access '97 database through an ODBC connection.
I'm having difficulties creating a condition using "LIKE". If I write the following expression, the query works: $Query=" SELECT FieldName1, FieldName2 FROM TableName WHERE FieldName1 = '$CriterionRecord' "; But, if I change the Where statement from "=" to "LIKE", the query no longer works, and I can't figure out why. (Could it be punctuation?) Here's an example: $Query=" SELECT FieldName1, FieldName2 FROM TableName WHERE FieldName1 LIKE '$CriterionRecord' "; The criterion record is actually chosen in another form and passed through to this script. The criterion record may be a complete record, or it may be a partial record with a wildcard, but the "LIKE" script is not working in either case. Does anyone have any experience with this they could share with me?
