(at least with PostgreSQL it would): $sql = "SELECT id, concat(fname, ' ', lname, ' ', degree1) as \"name\"". " FROM tbl_personnel WHERE name LIKE '%" . $attributes['nametofind'] . "%' ORDER BY lname ASC"; I just saw that there's another quote just before WHERE that may throw your code off. >Let me try to say what I am trying to do.
