Escape LIKE queries

[ntzm]

I've made a PR to deal with this in core: laravel/framework#22864

Basically there was inconsistency between some DB servers, and also %, _ and \ weren't being escaped.

Thanks for the PR! It's definitely an interesting one. I'd prefer to see this fixed in core but as that might take a couple more weeks I'll pull this in here for now 👍

Can we make this one protected? This way it's a bit easier for people to extend if they'd want to.

[ntzm]

Of course!

Hi @ntzm

After merging this in we still ran into some problems. In tests using sqlite everything seems to work perfectly fine.
On MySQL however the ESCAPE part of the query seems to be escaped by Laravel itself and ends up looking something like this:

select * from `media` where `name` LIKE %test% ESCAPE \"\\\"

Any ideas for a quick fix?

[ntzm]

Damn sorry, should have tested. I'm at work now, I'll figure something out later. Probably worth reverting if you have more stuff to release. My bad

[AlexVanderbist]

Don't worry about it! Reverted it for now but I'll keep an eye on laravel/framework#22864 for any updates as well 👍

[ntzm]

Thanks, and sorry again!

I can't for the life of me figure out how to prevent that from happening
