in reply to SQL pulling information

Would I be able to use like a rex in my SQL statement like
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM items WHERE m_category =~ /\|?44\|
+?/");

[download]
Would that ever be possible or do that have a function I heard of REGEXP but dont understand.

    Try searching around mysql.com's documentation a little bit. I knew how to do this but I wanted to find the documentation. You know what they say, give a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man to fish, he can eat for life. In that spirit I scrounged up a link for you.

    All the examples look like: 
    SELECT "string" REGEXP "some regex";

    all this does is return 1 or 0. in your situation, your select will look something like this: 
    SELECT col1, col2, ... FROM table WHERE col1 REGEXP 'your regex'

    I hope this helps.
