12,731 PointsSearch not working (SQL syntax error)
My search is not working. Here is the error message when I type in the word 'hello':
SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '= '%hello%' ORDER BY REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(title, 'The ',''),'An ',' at line 3
The $search variable is obviously being set but, something else is going wrong and I can't figure it out. Here is my search function
function search_catalog_array($search, $limit=null, $offset=0){
include("connection.php");
try {
$sql = "SELECT Media.media_id, title, category, img
FROM Media
WHERE title LIKE = ?
ORDER BY
REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(title, 'The ',''),'An ',''),'A ','')";
if(is_integer($limit)){
$results = $db->prepare($sql . " LIMIT ? OFFSET ?");
$results->bindValue(1, "%".$search."%", PDO::PARAM_STR);
$results->bindParam(2, $limit, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$results->bindParam(3, $offset, PDO::PARAM_INT);
} else {
$results = $db->prepare($sql);
$results->bindValue(1, "%".$search."%", PDO::PARAM_STR);
}
$results->execute();
} catch(Exception $e){
echo $e->getMessage();
exit;
}
$catalog = $results->fetchAll();
return $catalog;
}
Can anybody figure it out?
