nearenough Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 when the simple search script in the tutorials on this site searches my mySQL database it doesnt find results unless they are typed in the same case as the original entry. ie 'horse' does not find 'Horse' is it some problem with my database table formats or do i need to add a bit of script to the search to solve it?

JasonLewis Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 If you are using LIKE in your queries then the search should be not case sensitive. You are using LIKE?

PFMaBiSmAd Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 What does your query look like and what is the definition of your column? You are either forcing a case-sensitive comparison in your query (unlikely) or due to the definition of your column (data type is a binary character type, the character set, or the collation.)
