How to make a SELECT in PHP/MySQL case insensitive?

Question

Her\'s my probleme, i guess its really basic.

I\'m trying to lookup in the database if a line does exist. heres my code :

$req=\"SELECT * FROM INSTIT         


        

Answer 1

Try using LIKE instead of =:

$req="SELECT * FROM INSTITUTS WHERE `inst_name` LIKE '$fc_inst'";
