Like this:
$customer_select="SELECT * FROM customers WHERE Customer_No = '$id'";

Assunto: RE: Unknown column in 'where clause' error
Thanks for the suggestions, but this is actually a variable that is passed
via a URL. For example:
http://localhost/cus-lookup.php?id=CMET3558539239
Then in the code it looks like this:
$customer_select="SELECT * FROM customers WHERE Customer_No = $id";
How can I 'put quotes around' a variable?

WHERE Customer_No = 'CMET3558539239'
you need to use quotes when trying to reference data that is not 100%
numeric, otherwise MySQL thinks you are trying to reference a column.

Subject: Unknown column in 'where clause' error
Here is the full error I am getting when running the query included:
Failed Query: SELECT * FROM customers WHERE Customer_No = CMET3558539239
1054 : Unknown column 'CMET3558539239' in 'where clause'
Here's the problem, I know that Customer_No exists. I can see it in the
database. This code works fine when using a Customer_No such as 15 or 153,
something numeric. The field itself is defined as a CHAR (50).
Any ideas what is causing this? It happens with every Customer_No in this
format and gives the same error.
