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*'";

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.

David F.
