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

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" ?
