I am working with php and mysql and have the need to write a query like:
$sql_statement=mysql_query(" select * from table where column='string' ");
What comes out is:
select * from table where column=\'string\'
mysql doesn't like this one bit and I get the dreaded:
"Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /www /...
3display.php on line 41"
I've tried using settype($sql_statement,string) before (and after) the above statement
and still get the \'. Naturally, I've looked in the php manual online and found
nothing helpful on this subject. Please help the needy.
