webref.eu Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 I tried changing it to this: $query = "select * from Products where (ProductName like \"%$trimmed%\" or ProductBrand like \"%$trimmed%\ or ProductDesc like \"%$trimmed%\") but it doesn't like that.

Maq Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 You don't need parentheses or to escape the double quotes. The conventional way is to use single quotes around the pattern. $query = "SELECT * FROM Products where ProductName LIKE '%$trimmed%' or ProductBrand LIKE '%$trimmed%' or ProductDesc LIKE '%$trimmed%'"; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/160688-solved-help-me-modify-this-mysql-query/#findComment-848025 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, changing as you suggested made it work. Thanks for the other reply too.
