Your string should be enclosed in a quote when you do your query.
You can also do this, knowing that The
LIKE & %
make it a wildcard.Try
it should work.
If you are looking to search, you need to use the
LIKE
syntax, notWHERE
The
LIKE & %
make it a wildcard. Now you said you want to search by first and last, but you only pass in your first variable and you only query the first field, so you will need to pass the last name as well and add an OR to the SQL and encapsulate the firstname like or lastname like in parenthesis for better performance if you expand the sql later..
