Body
I have a database which contains the following : <pre><code>pnid partnumber desc code ==== ========== ==== ==== 1 123-12345 hdd CMYK </code></pre> So, the <code>code</code> field contains the pattern of the serial number I am looking for. What I would like to do is that I would like to fetch all the codes from my database, then check if a user input matches the code and display the part number of the matching code. So saying that my input is <code>ECMYK123456</code> then the function would return <code>123-12345</code>. I am really at lost. All I have is my basic PDO connection. <pre><code><?php function checkPattern($inputString) { $dbuser = "root"; $dbpass = "123456"; $dbconn = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=3parsfdb',$dbuser,$dbpass); $dbconn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); $dbconn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, false); $query = $dbconn->query("SELECT * FROM `partnumber` WHERE '%$inputString%' LIKE `ctcode` LIMIT 1"); foreach ($query as $row) { return $row['partnumber']; } } echo checkPattern("ECMYK12345"); ?> </code></pre> When I try the function, it returns nothing. What is wrong with the code? Final Code : <pre><code><?php function checkPattern($inputString) { $dbuser = "root"; $dbpass = "123456"; $dbconn = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=3parsfdb',$dbuser,$dbpass); $dbconn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); $dbconn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, false); $query = $dbconn->query("SELECT * FROM `partnumber` WHERE '$inputString' like concat('%', ctcode, '%') LIMIT 1"); foreach ($query as $row) { return $row['partnumber']; } } echo checkPattern("ECMYK12345"); ?> </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
