public function Connection::escapeLike
public Connection::escapeLike($string)
Escapes characters that work as wildcard characters in a LIKE pattern.
The wildcard characters "%" and "_" as well as backslash are prefixed with a backslash. Use this to do a search for a verbatim string without any wildcard behavior.
For example, the following does a case-insensitive query for all rows whose name starts with $prefix:
$result = db_query( 'SELECT * FROM person WHERE name LIKE :pattern', array(':pattern' => db_like($prefix) . '%') );
Backslash is defined as escape character for LIKE patterns in Drupal\Core\Database\Query\Condition::mapConditionOperator().
Parameters
string $string: The string to escape.
Return value
string The escaped string.
