Question

is it possible to make a search with Doctrine case insensitive?

Answer 1

This depends mainly on your Database-Server. A LIKE with MySQL is case insensitive a like with PostgreSQL is case sensitive. But you can help yourself with something like this:

$pattern = strtolower('HEllO WorlD');
$q = Doctrine_Query::create()
    ->select('u.username')
    ->from('User u')
    ->where("LOWER(u.username) LIKE ?", $pattern);
