In order to do a LIKE search with PDO, I need to add the % to the parameter before passing it.
This works:
$qry = '
SELECT product_id
FROM cart_product
WHERE product_manufacturer_num LIKE :search_string
';
$sth = $this->pdo->prepare($qry);
$sth->execute( array("search_string"=>'%'.$search_string.'%') );
To me this feels more like a hack, Is there a more official way of doing this?
It’s fine. It doesn’t feel like a hack to me.
The difficulty comes when you want to allow a literal
%or_character in the search string, without having it act as a wildcard.
