Answer 1

I guess the problem is here:

number LIKE '$str%'

Don't use that way. Instead, try giving this way:

number = '$str'

So that it performs a strict SELECT instead of search. When you give a %, it might expect something else to be present (or not, I am not sure about this).

Also, it is not a good idea to use LIKE for numbers. This is just a suggestion.
