hmm, but still sticking to that you'll have to specify a new WHERE argument for each thing you want to test on. Isn't there maybe some way to do it like this
WHERE skill IN (regexp("powerpoint", "php")) I know this thing won't work, becuase I don't know if you can do regular expressions on WHERE ... IN thingies. But, such a thing would be very handy ... even more when MySQL intruduces the subselect in WHERE .. IN thingies. Some other question, why us using REGEXP in this case better than LIKE ? is it faster, more efficient, something with case-sensitivity maybe?
