MySQL，PHP； 比较前编辑列值

Question

Maybe the question title isn't very clear but I don't know how to describe.

I'll try to explain:

I have a MySQL query in my PHP code like this:

$statement = $pdo->prepare('SELECT name FROM persons WHERE name = :name');
$statement->execute(array(':name' => "Peter-Loew"));

What I want to to is to edit :name before comparing with "Peter-Loew" .

I want to run a PHP code like this on :name before comparing with "Peter-Loew" :

<?php
function url_replace($url_replace) {
$url_replace = str_ireplace(array('Ä','Ö','Ü'), array('Ae','Oe','Ue'), $url_replace);
$url_replace = preg_replace('~[^a-zA-Z0-9]+~', '-', $url_replace);
$url_replace = trim($url_replace, '-');
$url_replace = rtrim($url_replace, '-');
return $url_replace;
}
?>

How can I do this? Or, does anybody know how to call this what I'm looking for?

Answer 1

You're looking for mysql REPLACE :

$statement = $pdo->prepare('SELECT name FROM persons WHERE REPLACE(name, " ", "-") = :name');
$statement->execute(array(':name' => "Peter-Loew"));
