use mysql_real_escape_string()
you can use escape character
i/'ll
something like this will workyou can even change the table to one without a quotation mark. hope it helps.shalom shalom
$mcat = mysql_real_escape_string($mcat);
$query="SELECT * FROM news WHERE topic LIKE '%$mcat%' ";using addslash() is also a easy choice
$mcat = mysql_real_escape_string($mcat); $query="SELECT * FROM news WHERE topic LIKE '%$mcat%' ";
Hi ...
I already test mysql_real_escape_string($mcat)...but not working...
In my db th first letter if having "...
eg:
"hi" welcome...
but $mcat= 'hi';
it doesnt search...
sorry i don't agree with it, if the search string is 'hi' like $var = 'hi' and in your db there are below entries -
1.high
2.hi
3."hi!
4."hi"
all these will come in the query's result if done with -
mysql_query("select * from tbl where fieldName like '%".$var."' ");
