HuggieBear Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 In MySQL you can use two wildcard characters, you know one of them, that's the percent sign (%) the other is the underscore (_). The percent sign matches any number of characters, whereas the underscore matches one single character.[code=php:0]$sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE column LIKE '__xx____'";[/code]RegardsHuggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
