mysql query

I found a piece of code that I don't understand (the $query part after like):

$numresults = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE name LIKE '% ". $query . "%' ");

In fact, I would like to use the elements of that query and replace them with my own elements. My query:

$numresults = mysql_query ("SELECT recept AS RECEPTEN FROM recepten WHERE ingredienten LIKE '%$param1%' and catID =('$catID');

You are close. The % signs are actually used for tolkiens/wildcards where mysql will return all that have $query included in them, your's is almost correct but the % have to be in quotes like:

Thanks,
I thought the query was the problem for my next/previous problem, but it doesn't seem to be so. Can I ask you to check out the code on my next/previous post, because it start to drive me crazy.

Thanks in advance,
