[PHP-DB] Escaping & From: Rankin, Randy (randy.rankin <email protected>)
Date: 07/12/01

Hello,

I have a table in a MySQL DB (RH Linux/Apache) with a field called
customer_name. Some of the customer names have an ampersand in them (ie; X &
X Supply). I am performing a select statement on this table to create a
sales summary with customer name and total sales.

This works fine; however, I am also creating a dynamic link on the customer
name so that the user can click on it to get a detailed report of sales to
that customer. This works great EXCEPT for the customers with ampersands in
thier names. The result of clicking on these customers indicates a "No
Records found for X" where X is the letter immediately preceding the
ampersand.

Does anyone know how to get around this?

TIA,

Randy Rankin
