Question

This is my query

SELECT * from status_votes where vote = 'like' and status_id = 1 and item_poster = 'LUcase'

It returns 0 rows, but when I view the table there are rows which match my query

Please let me know where I am going wrong…

Answer 1

My assumption is that perhaps there are leading or trailing spaces in your data that aren’t visible looking at the values in phpMyAdmin. Can you please try to edit a record in phpMyAdmin and see if it actually contain spaces.

Please try running this query:

SELECT *
FROM status_votes
WHERE TRIM(vote) = 'like'
AND status_id = 1
AND TRIM(item_poster) = 'LUcase';

If that doesn’t work, can you please share your table structure?
