Update query breaks future select! (Continued!!!)

[Maldonado, Daniel CW2 CTARNG]

I was asked for the update query and here it is!

#------------------------------------ Perl code here
---------------------------------

$description = "</TD></TR><TR><TD BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF COLSPAN=2><FONT
SIZE=+1><B>Added By Seller $time</B></FONT></TD></TR><TR><TD BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF
COLSPAN=2>";
$dbh->do("UPDATE items_tbl SET Description=" . $dbh->quote($description) . "
WHERE item_number=5");

#------------------------------------ End Perl code
---------------------------------
