Re: PHP using ODBC not liking like

Sam, you win the prize!!

Yes after adding the trim() it all started working.

I was printing the array to the screen but blanks are hard to see ;-)

Thank you

Don

Caveat: I'm not a PHP expert.
I think it's likely that your like array value is padded right with 
blanks and you'll have to remove them. Not sure of syntax but maybe 
DEBAC LIKE %TRIM(?).
