Concat and join?

the users tables id is a full name? and you want to join it with a LIKE?

sorry, but you need to spend a little time working out your sql. It will really payoff in the long run if you put CodeIgniter aside for 24 hours and read up on some basic sql tutorials to understand joins, etc. or you are just going to get stuck every 10 minutes and become frustrated
