Question

I have my database field named tag_info in it I will have data that appears like so:

arm leg head forearm foot

Tags are separated by spaces. (not sure if that is the best way so I am open to suggestions)

Now I need to write a query that will return all the rows that have specific tags in the tag_info field. But the tags I am looking for do not all need to be present just at least one of them does.

$find_tags = array("arm,"leg");

$query = "SELECT * FROM mydatabase WHERE tag_info = '$find_tags'

Is this possible?

Answer 1

You should probably change your database schema around first. Instead of storing tags separated by spaces.

Could you show me the schema (column names) for your table. I think this is a case where you should be having two tables. A separate table just for tags.
