Query by part of string in custom field












0














I am trying to query for a string if present in a custom field.



e.g. Within the custom field I have a value like: Milano romani and If I have a string Milano from GET, I should find it. But the following gives me all posts even if no string match in the custom field



<?php
$myTerm = $_GET['cityName'];

$catIds = array();

$args = get_posts(
array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'usp-custom-23',
'value' => $myTerm,
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
)
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $query->have_posts() ) {
while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
$query->the_post();
$id = get_the_ID();
array_push($catIds, $id);
}
$catIds = implode( ", ", $catIds );

if(count($catIds) > 0){
$arrayFUllCity = "fullCity";
} else {
$arrayFUllCity = "empty";
}
}
var_dump($catIds);
?>

  • Okay, I understand now. Try to use "%$myTerm%" this would tell MySQL to do a full text search.
