For example, line 275: $sql = $alias . '.' . $field . ' ' . db_ilike() . " '%' || ? || '%'"; Unfortunately, this doesn't always work with Mysql. In order for this to work we would need to set PIPES_AS_CONCAT Please refer to the documentation: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/sql-mode.html#sqlmode_pipes_as_concat Otherwise, strings need to be concatenated using: 'CONCAT'. This function is also available in Postgres. So, perhaps we should be using CONCAT instead of '||'. So, the above line 275 would be: $sql = $alias . '.' . $field . ' ' . db_ilike() . " concat('%', ? , '%')"; To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1529775/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors Post to : mahara-contributors@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
