Hi there everyone, I am building a dynamic MySQL query for a project I am working on, but there are instances where it products WHERE AND instead of WHERE city etc ….. due to the nature of the system I am developing. My question is, how can I remove the FIRST “ AND” from a string if it is present, but leave all other AND statements in the string? I would really appreciate any help on this. I can do a find and replace on a string no problem, but just want it to be removed IF it is the FIRST word in the string. Oh and Happy New Year everyone.
