    Ok so,

    I have this query that i make up in php (example) It uses as you can see a IN statment.


    SELECT *
    FROM supplier
    WHERE name IN ( 'IBM', 'Hewlett Packard', 'Microsoft');


    Thing is If i have IBM - Laptops is in the field name it wont show up cause in is a specific search, So to fix i try this

    SELECT *
    FROM supplier
    WHERE name IN ( '%IBM%', '%Hewlett Packard%', '%Microsoft%');


    But this doesnt work anyone got any work arounds or something...

    Thanks,
    M

    Excellent mate thanks for that had to do some messing with the code to get it to work but you pointed me in the right direction.
