How do I use properly CASE..WHEN in MySQL

Question

Here is a demo query, notice it is very simple, Fetches only where base_price is 0, And still, it chooses the condition 3:

SELECT
   CASE course_enrollment_settings.base_price
    WHEN course_enrollment_settings.base_price = 0      THEN 1
    WHEN course_enrollment_settings.base_price<101      THEN 2
    WHEN course_enrollment_settings.base_price>100 AND   
                      course_enrollment_settings.base_price<201 THEN 3
        ELSE 6
   END AS 'calc_base_price',
   course_enrollment_settings.base_price
FROM
    course_enrollment_settings
WHERE course_enrollment_settings.base_price = 0

base_price is decimal(8,0)

When run this on my DB, I get:

3 0
3 0
3 0
3 0
3 0

Remove the course_enrollment_settings.base_price immediately after CASE:

SELECT
   CASE
    WHEN course_enrollment_settings.base_price = 0      THEN 1
    ...
    END

CASE has two different forms, as detailed in the manual. Here, you want the second form since you're using search conditions.
