you can try to remove whitespace and add simply your code

$jobs->where('CollPCode','LIKE','%'.$colpostcode.'%')
        ->orWhere('CollPCode','LIKE','%'.preg_replace('/\s+/', '', $colpostcode).'%');

Hey , Thanks but I do not think this works in both situations. For example if the DB entry has a space "B37 7GT" , then if user searches "B377GT" it will not find the version with a space in the DB? I need to strip the DB version of whitespaces on the where also no?

you dont want a like, you need a regexp something like:

select 'b377gt' REGEXP '[[:alnum:]][[:blank:]]*[[:alnum:]]{3}';

so it will match both with/without spaces

Thanks Shez, how would i put that into a query?

 if(!empty($ColDate)){
                $jobs->where('ColDate',$ColDate);
            }

$jobs->where('CollPCode','LIKE','%'.$colpostcode.'%');

should be: $jobs->where('CollPCode','REGEXP','pattern');

use replace, $jobs->orWhereRaw('REPLACE (CollPCode," ","") LIKE "%'.str_replace(' ','%',$colpostcode).'%"')
