RE: SELECT WHERE length of content question

You should be able to use the MySQL command LENGTH() command. I'm assuming
that your fax field is a varchar or char(10) field. If it's a number (which
it probably shouldn't be), I suppose you could write a query to find values
equal to or greater than 100,000,000,000.

I hope this helps.

Subject: SELECT WHERE length of content question

Is there a command in mySQL that would allow me to SELECT the rows where the
`fax` column is more than 11 characters long?

OR

Do I need to use PHP to assess this?
