Question

I have a MySQL query which gets including some vars like that:

messages TABLE receiver cols

• user1 rows : 1,3,5
• user2 rows : 2,3
• user3 rows : 1,4

I want to get rows which includes ‘3’ value. So I will get ‘user1’ and ‘user2’.

I tried that but naturally it doesn’t work.

mysql_query("SELECT * FROM messages WHERE receiver='3'");

How can I do this?

Answer 1

Try this:

mysql_query("SELECT * FROM messages WHERE receiver like '%3%'");
