Try this :
$string = "Hello World";
$TableName = "Table";
$FieldName = "Field";
$Field = "CONCAT_WS('', ' ', TRIM($TableName.$FieldName), ' ')";
$Op = $Type=="All" ? "AND" : "OR";
$where = "WHERE ($Field LIKE '% ".(preg_replace("/[\s]+/", " %' $Op $Field
LIKE '% ", $string))." %')";
$sql = "SELECT * FROM Table ". $where;
