Question

The following code fetches the TITLE attribute for each post. I want to compare it to a search phrase $f using something similar to the way LIKE works with SQL.

<?php 

$terms = $_GET['f'];

$searchs = get_posts($args);

foreach($searchs as $search){

    $title = get_the_title($search);

Then we would need something like:

if($title is LIKE $f) {   }

How would it work?

Answer 1

LIKE is a MySQL keyword, you have to use that in an SQL statement like so:

SELECT * FROM posts WHERE title LIKE '%keyword%';

If you want to do your search using PHP, you can use strpos like so:

if(strpos($title, $keyword) !== FALSE) {   }
