Question

I need to make a “not like” operation in a where. I know that i can do this:

$predicate->like($a,$b);

But i can’t find a way to perform a “not like” and other negated like “not in”. Is there any way or i will have to make string where?

Thanks.

As you mention there is no notLike method on where object. But there is literal method where you can pass anything you want:

$sql = new Sql($adapter);
$select = $sql->select();
$select->from('foo')
       ->where->literal('NOT LIKE ?', array('bar'));

echo $select->getSqlString();

The output wille be:

SELECT "foo".* FROM "foo" WHERE NOT LIKE 'bar'
