Combine PHP prepared statments with LIKE

Question

Anyone know how to combine PHP prepared statements with LIKE? i.e.

\"SELECT * FROM table WHERE name LIKE %?%\";

Answer 1

in PHP using MYSQLI you need to define a new parameter which will be declared as:

$stmt = mysqli_prepare($con,"SELECT * FROM table WHERE name LIKE ?");
$newParameter='%'.$query.'%';
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, "s", $newParameter);
mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);

this works for me..
