Question

I’m new at Yii and I’m using the findAllBySql function to get some records.

$users = User::model()->findAllBySql("
  SELECT * 
  FROM users u 
  WHERE replace(lower(u.firstname),' ','') LIKE '%:s%' 
     OR replace(lower(u.lastname),' ','') LIKE '%:s%'",
  array(':s' => $search)
);

If I hardcode the value of :s, the function works correctly so it seems like Yii isn’t changing the parameter :s. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Thijs

$users = User::model()->findAllBySql("
  SELECT * 
  FROM users u 
  WHERE replace(lower(u.firstname),' ','') LIKE :s 
     OR replace(lower(u.lastname),' ','') LIKE :s",
  array(':s' => '%' . $search . '%')
);
