Hello.

This may sound easy, but I've been trying - in vain, apparently - to figure out how I can make a query with MySQL that checks if the value (string $haystack ;) ) in a certain column contains certain data ( $needle ;) ), like this:

mysql_query("
SELECT *
FROM `table`
WHERE `column`.contains('{$needle}')
");

In PHP, the function is called substr($haystack, $needle), so maybe:

WHERE substr(`column`, '{$needle}')=1

Thanks in advance!
