AJLX Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hello Guys, I have a system that generate project numbers. The system is: YEAR - PROJECT NUMBER . Sub ID 2014.1065.02 I want to be able to search my database for the sub ID's belonging to a project. I have tried using wildcards, but they don't seem to do what I want. Could you please tell me where I'm going wrong? $project_id = $_SESSION['PROJECT']; $project_id_trim = substr($project_id, 0,-3); $trim = mysql_real_escape_string($project_id_trim); echo $trim; $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `Project_subhire` WHERE `Subhire_id` LIKE '%$trim%'"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $project_results = $row['Project_id']; } Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/285169-php-like-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginerjm Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 How do you know it's not working? You don't output anything. 1- Remove the leading % sign in your like argument. 2 - I'm assuming that 'subhire_id' looks like "2014.1065.nn" ?
