db search

I'm working on a script that when you submit the form it returns what group you'd be assigned to based on email.

the database table groups has a field called "strings" and we have saved for example @gmail.com and any email containing @gmail.com will be assigned to G Mail Users.

I'm having a hard time establishing how I want to do this. The one way I know I can do it is by fetching all the fields and then matching it up using stristr.

I was thinking there has to be a better way using the mysql functions.

Can't this be done by just using mysql's like?  Obviously this isn't a complete script and you'll need to take the bits and plug them into your script.

 

// Initial email (Obviously passed into your script via $_POST)
$email = 'user@gmail.com';

// Get the domain part of the email address
$domain = substr($email, strpos($email, '@')+1);

// Stick it in a query to the database
$sql = "SELECT group_name FROM groups WHERE string LIKE '%" . $domain . "%';"

// Run a while loop on the returned results and you should be fine
