Combining `where` and `like` statements by using the CI activerecords

Question

To cut a long story short: Is it possible and if it is - how can I build a query that looks somewhat like this one

SELECT * FROM a
    WHERE row = 1 AND 
            


        

Answer 1

$this->db->where('salary_range_min >= ',$salarymin)
$this->db->where('salary_range_max <= ',$salarymax)
$this->db->where('job_title like '.$title.'% or skill like %'.$title.'%');
// OR */
$this->db->where('job_title like '.$title.'% or skill like %'.$title.'%',FALSE);
// OR */
$this->db->where('job_title like '.$title.'% or skill like %'.$title.'%',NULL);

Try this out
