Answer 1

You can try as follows

$keywordRaw = "jhon doe";
$bindArr = explode(" ", $keywordRaw);

$query = "select * from users where";    
foreach ($i = 0; $i < count($bindArr); $i++) {
    if ($i == 0) {
        $query.= ' first_name LIKE "%?%"';
    } else {        
        $query.= ' or first_name LIKE "%?%"';
    }
}

$sth = $dbh->prepare($query);
$sth->execute($bindArr);
