PDO Suggest refine results different than wildcard symbol - php

Question

I am trying to make a PDO query to be searchable not only by the whole string but also by first letter or last letter anything like this. My question is what approach I have to take to achieve this goal.
My original idea was to use wildcard symbol and something like the following:
SELECT * FROM idname WHERE field LIKE CONCAT('%', :field , '%')
but this option for me is not working since I am getting an error:
Warning: Division by zero in**
Warning: Division by zero in E:\xampp\htdocs\search-contact.php on line 111
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'LIMIT 0, 30' at line 1' in E:\xampp\htdocs\dolche\admin\class\pagination.php:451 Stack trace: #0 E:\xampp\htdocs\dolche\admin\class\pagination.php(451): PDOStatement->execute() #1 E:\xampp\htdocs\search-contact.php(125): pagination->execute() #2 {main} thrown in E:\xampp\htdocs\class\pagination.php on line 451
My code ad the moment is the following:
try
{
$paginate = new pagination($page, 'SELECT * FROM idname WHERE field LIKE :field', $options);
}
catch(paginationException $e)
{
echo $e;
exit();
}
$paginate->bindValue(':field', $_POST['field'] , PDO::PARAM_STR);
$paginate->execute();
Any suggestions are welcome ?

When using PDO you have to put the wildcards in the parameter, so it would look like:
$paginate->bindValue(':field', '%'.$_POST['field'].'%' , PDO::PARAM_STR);
