Ok..
First I build my select list:
<SELECT NAME="Cid" size="1">
<OPTION Selected VALUE="">All Customers</OPTION>
<?
While ($Site = mysql_fetch_array($S))
{
$Sid = $Site["CID"];
$SName = htmlspecialchars($Site["Customer"]);
echo("<option value='$SName'>$SName</options>\n");
}
?>
</select>
The optional value displays the ['] correctly when I look at the source.
When the submit button is clicked, it passes this form value Cid to the
Result.php page.
First I convert the posted value
$FF = $_POST ['Cid'];
then I use it in a select statement
$Info = mysql_query(select * FROM customer WHERE customer.customer LIKE
'$FF' );
When the customer name is all text, it works fine, but when the customer has
the [']
In it like St Mary's, the value I get on the Result.php page is St Mary
