Problem is, the system takes the u.plz as a > character not as a table element: > > LIKE "%u.plz%" > > Has anybody an idea how the correct sytnax is? I am lost here. > > Thank you in advance, > > Merlin > > PS: This is the complete statement: > SELECT c.name AS city > FROM geo_de.geodb_locations AS c, fix.user AS u > WHERE u.user_id =4 AND c.plz > LIKE "%u.plz%"; -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
