Compare Two Strings in MySQL

Question

My current query (doesn\'t work)

SELECT url
FROM table
WHERE
    \'http://www.longurl.com/some/string\' like \'%\' . url . \'%\'

table

Answer 1

What about this:

SELECT url 
FROM table
WHERE url LIKE '%longurl.com%string%'

or, to be just like your PHP:

SELECT url 
FROM table
WHERE url LIKE '%longurl.com%'
