query problem

Hi all,

In my database I build a string called description. from this:
$description=”Collection on “.$_SESSION[‘servicedate’].” at “.$churchname.” – “.$servicename; The string looks like thi:
Collection on 05/04/2008 at Dicks Aposolic Church – Noon Service
That is what is in the field in the table named “GL_Description”;
After making some changes, I need to update the record BUT ….
after building the same string and using the sql of:
$sql=”select * from general_ledger where GL_Description='”.$description.”‘”;
it returns a -1 and cannot find the record.
I tried putting quotes around the string but that didn’t work either.
Can anyone help?
TIA
