像$ query一样的mySQL-使用GET变量作为％LIKE％值

Question

I am using a mySQL query which currently looks for just one value in this as such;

 "SELECT * FROM $usertable WHERE tabID LIKE '%spotlight%'";

this sits on index.php and this works great, however I would like the search value "spotlight" not to be hard coded, but so it is achieved from the URL

So when I go to

index.php?type=spotlight

ill get spotlights. and when I go to

index.php?type=lamps

I will get lamps

I have player around with this and at I am sure its something like this which I have been trying to make work...

$product_type = $_GET['type'];

       //*    and then lower down where the query sits *\\

"SELECT * FROM $usertable WHERE tabID LIKE '%$product_type%'";

but it really didn't like this and eded up showing all values for the $usertable

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Regards

Henry

Answer 1

"SELECT * FROM $usertable WHERE tabID LIKE '$type'";

尽管更改了搜索条件，但必须删除％，但必须完全包含该技巧。
