Subject: DB query with a "\" on a string
i have page that that checks a database for a string. if the string is not
there, i return an error message. this all works fine until i place a
backslash on the end of the string. the string with the backslash does not
exist in the DB. any explanations, or should this be going to a DB list. i
am using mysql and tomcat on unix
thanks
