SQL syntax help
Hi, I know that this query to the db works:-
[MYSQL] select * from table where ((Name LIKE \"%$trimmed%\") AND (Category1 NOT LIKE \"Banner*****\")); [/MYSQL] but when I add another term, it stop working [MYSQL] select * from table where ((Name LIKE \"%$trimmed%\") AND ((Category1 NOT LIKE \"Banner*****\") OR (Category1 NOT LIKE \"Affiliates%\"))); [/MYSQL] what I am doing wrong? it seems quite correct to me! thanks

Try this:
Code:
select * from table where ((Name LIKE \"%$trimmed%\") AND (Category1 NOT LIKE \"Banner*****\")) OR (Category1 NOT LIKE \"Affiliates%\"); I rearranged your brackets a bit.

Thanks Dzz
Oooooh I see! It's abit like saying "select anything like this but not like this.....oh! by the way, OR not like that as well ; if I wanted to add another conditional NOT LIKE would I do it like this? Code:
select * from table where ((Name LIKE \"%$trimmed%\") AND (Category1 NOT LIKE \"Banner*****\")) OR (Category1 NOT LIKE \"Affiliates%\" OR Category1 NOT LIKE \"something\");

I was just going by what you had and blindly pretended I knew the data =)
Kudos for figuring it out and thanks for following up!
