I'm trying to figure out a way that SQL can pass a flag to PHP to say which column "matched" during a query.
Let's say for instance that I want to search for the word "apple" in both column "producer", and column "designation". I was hoping I could do something like this: Select producer, flag=1 from wine where producer like '%apple%' UNION Select designation, flag=2 from wine where designation like '%apple%' and then in each row that comes back, I could determine which column did that match by doing a PHP analysis of the "flag" value. However, this doesn't appear to be the right way to go about this (mySQL doesn't like these flag=1, flag=2 things. Can someone help steer me in the right direction? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
