Prepared params LIKE statement Not working with SQLSRV

Question

I am using SQLSRV 3.0 for PHP and working against a MSSQL2008.

My problem I am having, is that I can\'t get a LIKE statement in the query to work?

$conne         


        

Answer 1

Try to do this:

$strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE col2 like '%' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR, ?) + '%' or col2 like '%' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR, ?) + '%' ";

$searchTerm = "<<some multibye characters>>";

$searchTerm = iconv('utf-8', 'utf-16le', $searchTerm);

$params = array( array($searchTerm, NULL, SQLSRV_PHPTYPE_STRING(SQLSRV_ENC_BINARY)));

Answer 2

Adjust your code to the following:

$sql = "select * from tbl where col2 LIKE ? or col2 LIKE ?";
$params = array($sID."%", $sUser."%");
$stmt = sqlsrv_query( $conn, $sql, $params);
