Dynamic while loop for MySql query - php

Question

How would I shorten this mysql query for usage in php?
<?php
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $this->usernameid where
name LIKE '%$term%' OR
manufacture1 LIKE '%$term%' OR
manufacture2 LIKE '%$term%' OR
manufacture3 LIKE '%$term%' OR
manufacture4 LIKE '%$term%' OR
manufacture5 LIKE '%$term%' OR
manufacture6 LIKE '%$term%' OR
manufacture7 LIKE '%$term%' OR
manufacture8 LIKE '%$term%' OR
manufacture9 LIKE '%$term%' OR
manufacture10 LIKE '%$term%'
ORDER BY $order1";
?>
Looking to do a while loop, as an example here is my $_POST for another part of the program.
<?php
$i = 1;
while ($i < 10) {
$manufacture[$i] = strtoupper(filterinput($_POST['manufacture' . $i]));
$i++;
};
?>

// Base query
$baseQuery = "SELECT * FROM $this->usernameid WHERE name LIKE '%$term%' ";
// Get all columns from the table with manufacturers
$manufacturers = "SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA "
. "WHERE TABLE_NAME = '{YOUR_TABLE}' "
. "AND COLUMN_NAME LIKE 'manufacturer%';"
// Execute query
$getManufacturers = mysql_query( $manufacturers );
$addWhereClause = ''; // Additional WHERE clauses
// Loop over all the columns 'LIKE manufacturer%'
while ($manu = mysql_fetch_rows( $getManufacturers )) {
// Add an additional clause for every manufacturer
$addWhereClause .= "OR $manu LIKE '%$term% ";
}
// Append everything together and you have your dynamic query.
$query = $baseQuery.$addWhereClause."ORDER BY $order1;";
