title: How do I use a LIKE clause in a PDO prepared statement?
body: <p>I have a sql query like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE title Like "%:needle%"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I query the MySQL db manually with this statement it works. But when I use it with PDO and with the same values for :needle as I queried manually It just returns an empty result set.</p>
  
  <p>Does utf8 encoding affects the behavior of it?</p>
