SQL IN condition cakephp

Question

let's say I have a column in my database table that contains a list of comma-separated values like:

MyTable.values = a,b,c,d,e,f,etc....

How do I construct the condition in the find('all') function of cakePHP to retrieve the entries whose MyTable.values contain let's say "c" for example

Thanks

Answer 1

You should be able to use the LIKE operator. Percent-sign is a wildcard.

<?php

$this->Model->find("all", array(
    "conditions" => array("Model.field LIKE" => "%c%")
));
?>

Gotta love that automagic.

Edit: Found it! The complex find conditions page has official documentation on this, though it's kind of buried.
