title: How to make a SELECT in PHP/MySQL case insensitive?
body: <p>Her's my probleme, i guess its really basic.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to lookup in the database if a line does exist. heres my code :</p>
  
  <pre><code>$req="SELECT * FROM INSTITUTS WHERE inst_name='$fc_inst'";
  $result=mysql_query($req) or die ('Erreur :'.mysql_error());
  if (mysql_num_rows($result)){
  echo '  name exist';
  }
  else {
  echo '  does not exist.';
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Probleme is, when imm looking for "test", it says does not exist, even if i have "Test" in my database.</p>
