How to show related content using like in mysql?
- by halocursed
I currently have a table for products with it's own set of tags and a table for news with it's own set of tags. I wanted to add related news to the products page so I was thinking of using like but since the column tags in the products page is something like
(Products) tags- manutd, man utd, football
(news) tags - manutd, blah, bruha [this one is related]
(news) tags - man, utd, bruha [this one is not related]
I wanted to use a query to show all news containing any of the tags(from products) seperated by commas using mysql. How should I go about constructing such a query? If there is a better way of doing this a little explanation would be helpful too. Thanks
