Then I log into mysql from the command line and enter the query manually to see what sort of response or error message I get. -Steve On Wednesday, September 19, 2001, at 09:01 AM, Russ Michell wrote: > Hi there: > > Further to a previous submission (which can be ignored), I'd like the > following query to 'search' a > table field of different team names (stored as a single string), but it > does't seem to work! > > "SELECT * FROM $table_users WHERE usrName='$username' AND > usrPswd=password('$password') AND affil_team RLIKE '$team+'"; > (I've also tried: RLIKE '$team?' ) > > This should match the string found in the variable: '$team' with the > some of contents (string) > found in 'affil_team'. > > For example my test has been, trying to find 'footballSat', so $team = > 'footballSat'.
