THANKS!

another question this doesnt really regard that, well kinda, but lets say i exploded it like so

$fullName = 'kyle cribbs'

$name = explode(' ', $fullName);

 

how would i do a 'like' SQL using an array?

like this?

SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `name` LIKE '%$name%'

 

$fullName = 'kyle cribbs'
$name = explode(' ', $fullName);

$sql = "SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `name` LIKE '%".$name[0]."%'"; // $name[0] = kyle , $name[1] = cribbs

Then:

$fullName = 'kyle cribbs'
$name = explode(' ', $fullName);

foreach($name as $value) {
$search[] = "`name` LIKE '%$value%'";
}

$sql = "SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE " . implode(' OR ', $search); //name LIKE '%kyle%' OR name LIKE '%cribbs%'
