Beste Joost,
Dear Readers,

I'm learning SQL and PHP besides my school and
have some questions!

When I use this query:

SELECT * FROM friends WHERE firstname LIKE
'%$firstname%'

it's case-sensitive.. So the content of the 'cel' must
be 100% the same as the variable. So 'Kasper'
does not match 'kasper'!

also tried the querry with an = instead of an LIKE!

SELECT * FROM friends WHERE firstname =
'$firstname'

Same problem!

Does anybody know a simple solution?

For the people who wanna knowthe server specs:

PIII 733Mhz
256 MB
Debian Linux 2.2r3
PHP 3.0
PostgreSQL

know an solution, please mail
(SQLhelp@applemuseum.com) or ICQ
(24552989)

Don't know PostgreSQL but you could try
SELECT * FROM friends WHERE upper(firstname) LIKE
upper('%$firstname%')
if you want the query to be case insensitive.

Cheers, Joli
