I have a DB that has a field in it that currently just holds single or double numbers - these numbers are basically a reference to a category in which the particular record should be displayed. However I have now been asked if I can make it so that a particular record can be displayed in more than one category.

All I need to do is somehow ask the field to add a forward slash to the front and end of the data, so the data will go from this:

1
33
21
9
11

to this:

/1/
/33/
/21/
/9/
/11/

How do I get MySQL to do this? I guess I might have to do it in two steps by firstly adding the slash to the front and then lastly to the back. But I have no idea on how to do it. My reason for doing this is so that I get the webpage to look for numbers that are between the slashes. this will enable me to have numbers like this: /1/33/9/ enabling me to have a record in more than one category.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mat
