i have mysql table, users: (id, first_name, last_name, ....)
i'd like to do something like this pseudo query
SELECT * FROM users WHERE first_name.' '.last_name = 'john doe' LIMIT 10")
I Want to do this cause i have lots of trouble spliting the string (then i don't know in what order is user typing'
This is my current, not working very good
$phrase = explode(' ',$term);
$last_name = '';
if($phrase[1] != '')
$last_name= " OR last_name LIKE '%".$phrase[1]."%'";
$qstring = "SELECT usuarios.first_name,usuarios.last_name,
usuarios.id as id
FROM usuarios
WHERE first_name LIKE '%".$phrase[0]."%' OR last_name LIKE '%".$phrase[0]."%' $last_name LIMIT 5";
Any suggestion to achieve this (by concatenating at query or spliting at php) would be very apreciated
You can concatenate in a MySQL query using CONCAT
:
SELECT * FROM users WHERE CONCAT(first_name,' ',last_name) = 'john doe' LIMIT 10
In your code this would become:
SELECT * FROM usuarios WHERE CONCAT(first_name,' ',last_name) LIKE '%{$phrase[0]}%' LIMIT 5
Something like this?
SELECT first_name, last_name, id
FROM usuarios
WHERE CONCAT(first_name, last_name) LIKE '%$phrase[0]%' LIMIT 5
