like() — Implement the LIKE operator

Common Usage

like( pattern, string )

Description

The like() function implements the matching algorithm used by the SQL expression string LIKE pattern, and is normally not called directly by user-provided SQL expressions. This function exists so that it may be overridden with a user-defined SQL function, providing a user-defined LIKE operator.

Note that the order of the parameters differs between the LIKE expression and the like() function.
