title: Adding a wildcard character to a string in PHP
body: <p>I'm building an auto-complete plugin and I need to check all words that start with a certain term, for example, setting <code>$one</code> as follows will detect "list", "listener", "listening", etc.:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$one= "list%";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I append a wildcard (<code>%</code>) to my second example to achieve the same result?</p>
  
  <pre><code>$one= $_REQUEST['term'];  // lacks %
  </code></pre>
