Beste Joost,
Dear Readers,
I'm learning SQL and PHP besides my school and
have some questions!
When I use this query:
SELECT * FROM friends WHERE firstname LIKE
'%$firstname%'
it's case-sensitive.. So the content of the 'cel' must
be 100% the same as the variable. So 'Kasper'
does not match 'kasper'!
also tried the querry with an = instead of an LIKE!
SELECT * FROM friends WHERE firstname =
'$firstname'
Same problem!
Does anybody know a simple solution?
For the people who wanna knowthe server specs:
PIII 733Mhz
256 MB
Debian Linux 2.2r3
PHP 3.0
PostgreSQL
know an solution, please mail
(SQLhelp@applemuseum.com) or ICQ
(24552989)

Don't know PostgreSQL but you could try
SELECT * FROM friends WHERE upper(firstname) LIKE
upper('%$firstname%')
if you want the query to be case insensitive.
Cheers, Joli
