bschultz Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I'm trying to write a select to match a few certain words... $sql = "SELECT * FROM podcasts WHERE `type` = 'podcast' AND recap LIKE 'Men%' AND recap LIKE '%Hockey%' ORDER BY date DESC"; That's what I have so far...which isn't working... I need to match the string "Mens" OR "Men's" with the word "Hockey" BUT...I can't match "Women's" or "Womens" Any idea what I'm doing wrong? The above code only returns 6 results...when it should return nearly 100. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
