Hi,

we are having to build a complex query in a string using parameters passed 
through the URL and then run it within a cfquery. 

Here is a basic example:

<cfset param1 = url.param1 />
<cfset sqlString = 'select value from table1 where id = "#param1#"' />
<cfquery name="myQuery" datasource="myDatasource">
<cfoutput>#sqlString#</cfoutput>
</cfquery>

This all works fine until the url.param1 includes a double quote, then of 
course it conflicts with the double quotes it is surrounded in and throws an 
error.

Even if we encode the string then of course mysql wont be able to retrieve the 
correct results

Do you have any suggestions on how to get around this?

thanks
