Codeigniter escape_like_str() function
This function is useful when strings are used in the LIKE portion of your query. This enables the wildcards to be correctly escaped along with the string. Here’s
an example of its usage:
$like = 'w3m' ; $sql = " SELECT id FROM table WHERE column LIKE ' %" . $this- >db->escape_like_str($like) . "%' "; $this->db- >query($sql) ;
