Question

When I try :

SELECT * FROM user WHERE phone = 60123456789

phpMyAdmin return result but when I try :

SELECT * FROM user WHERE phone = '60123456789'

phpMyAdmin return an empty result. The column type varchar.

How do I make it working with single quote? Am I wrongly set the type in structure?

Answer 1

try

SELECT * FROM user WHERE phone like '60123456789%'

If that works then you have trailing spaces in your column

You can remove them using

update user set phone = replace(phone, ' ', '')

Edit

Example:

Trailing spaces:

'123  '

Leading spaces:

'  123'
