SQL Select query where column like string with and without spaces
php, sql
Solution
$sql = SELECT * from table where REPLACE(col_name,' ','') LIKE '%ABC123%' ";
Problem
I have a SQL Select query in PHP where i need to lookup rows in a table where a column is like a string with and without spaces for example, if my value in the database is `ABC 123` and i search for `ABC123` the query will be ``` $sql = SELECT * from table where col_name LIKE '%ABC123%' "; ``` but i need it to return the row where col_name equals ABC 123 and vice versa, for example, if the database value is `123ABC` and i search for `123 ABC` the query will be ``` $sql = SELECT * from table where col_name LIKE '%123 ABC%' "; ``` and i need it to return the row where col_name equals `123ABC`
