How to add a LIKE condition to a CodeIgniter query?

I have a CodeIgniter query with the following lines.

$userloc = $this->session->userdata('location');
$query = $this->db->query('
    select assettype,
           sum(status="In Stock")In_stock,
           sum(status = "Allocated")Allocated,
           sum(status = "Decommission")Decommission,
           sum(status = "In transit")In_Transit,
           location
    from assets
    group by assettype, location
');

I want to put a LIKE condition in the $query where location LIKE $userloc, but my attempts are not working out.

Solution

  • Try using below 

    $this->db->select('assettype,sum(status="In Stock")In_stock,sum(status =  "Allocated")Allocated,sum(status = "Decommission") Decommission,sum(status = "In transit")In_Transit,location');
$this->db->from('assets');
$this->db->like('location', $userloc);
$this->db->group_by('assettype,location');
$query = $this->db->get();
