title: How to store a list of weekdays in MySQL?
body: <p>I'm writing an application using <strong>PHP</strong> and I need to store a list of unique weekdays in <strong>MySQL</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>In the application, I have an array to store the weekdays, like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$days = [
      'Wed',
      'Thu',
      'Sat',
  ];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know I can use a <code>SET</code> column, but I prefer to not use this type due incompatibility with the framework I'm using (Laravel).</p>
  
  <p>How can I save this list using a format that I can still search within the stored values? I'd like to retrieve all rows that have a Sunday, for instance.</p>
