oci_bind_by_name doesn't work with LIKE clause












2















My code is something like this:



$s = ociparse($conn, "SELECT u.email, u.city FROM tickets t, users u WHERE t.userId = u.userId AND u.city LIKE '%:city%'");
$city = $_GET['city'];
oci_bind_by_name($s, ":city", $city);


Apparently, it can't replace the ":city"



The warning I get:




Warning: oci_bind_by_name(): ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number in C:xampphtdocsphpOracletickets.php on line 41

  • bind variable is NOT part of string literal. SELECT u.email, u.city FROM tickets t, users u WHERE t.userId = u.userId AND u.city LIKE :city;

You need to bind it like this, you have to concatenate the % signs with it and you cannot have your bound variable wrapped in single quotes:



$s = ociparse($conn, "SELECT u.email, u.city FROM tickets t, users u WHERE t.userId = u.userId AND u.city LIKE '%' || :city || '%'");
