Answer 1

try this by concatenating the value in the string via PHP,

$value = "valueHere";
$passThis = "%" . $value . "%";
// other pdo codes...
$stmt = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Column LIKE ?");
$stmt->bindParam(1, $passThis);
// other pdo codes...

Answer 2

after like add quotes. eg:- like '%?%'

i.e:

SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name like '%field_name%';

Answer 3

I think wildcard stament should be within single quotes, like;

SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Column LIKE '%?%';

This returns any record which contains the string given anywhere within the particular column field

Column data which starts with 'ber', example

SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Column LIKE 'ber%';

Hope this helps

Answer 4

Either put the % characters before and after your parameter before you pass it into the query or

SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Column LIKE '%' + ? + '%'

SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Column LIKE ? + '%'

SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Column LIKE '%' + ?

Although this will fail if ? is null because the concatenate will yield null. you could use coalesce

SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Column LIKE '%' + Coalesce(?,'') + '%'

SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Column LIKE Coalesce(?,'') + '%'

SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Column LIKE '%' + Coalesce(?,'')

If you would like to use prepared statements then take a look at http://php.net/manual/de/pdo.prepared-statements.php.

SELECT * FROM REGISTRY where name LIKE '%?%'
