when I search in the PhpMyAdmin an email of the style of

```
something@something.com

```

Using

```
LIKE %something@something.com%

```

It returns a row. But whenever I search it using an sql sentence, either from php or either executing the query from PhpMyAdmin

The query I'm using is

```
 SELECT * FROM tblMyTable WHERE field LIKE '%something@something.com%'

```

Can it be because of the @?

Thanks
