[RESOLVED] Anyone know the difference in this query?

[Needbass]

$ARG = 'Computer';
$ARG = '%'.$ARG.'%';

echo $ARG; //Shows &Computer%

$sql = "SELECT * FROM listings WHERE title LIKE '.$ARG.' ";

$sql = "SELECT * FROM listings WHERE title LIKE '%Computer%'";

I get a result with the bottom query but not the top. Is my quotes wrong?
Thanks

The top query does not use the % wildcards.

I got it to work thanks.

$sql = "SELECT * FROM listings WHERE title LIKE '%$ARG%'";
