This is the least of your worries .... google SQL injection attacks before you 
waste too much more development time trying to resolve this issue.

Subject: [Flashcoders] LoadVars and SQL Query issue
 
I am doing an application where I'm writing some classes that sends queries
to a php file by using LoadVars.send().

var toSend:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var myQuery:String = "select * from users where Name = 'Omar Fouad' ";
toSend.query = myQuery; // traces    select * from users where Name = 'Omar
Fouad'
toSend.send("File.php", "_self", "POST");

At this phase the php files receive the query and when I echo the query
string appears:

select * from users where Name = \'Omar Fouad\'
That's is how it is sent to the server so of course it shows an SQL error
because of the backslashes. Apparently it does not recognize the "String in
the String" part of the query that is sent from Flash.

When I send a query for a Number like:

select ^ from users where id = 1

it queries the database without problems.

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks and Regards.
