This is my query :

$cat=trim($_POST[category]);
$sq = "INSERT INTO newent (name, title, memo, category) VALUES ('$_POST[name]', '$_POST[title]', '$_POST[memo]', '$cat')";

The error I get is :

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 't know about it at line 1

If the memo field has a ' (example don't) as a part of its text I get this error message. In the above error message 't is part of the text don't.

Help ... Anyone ....

you need to "escape" the apostrophes as they are sql delimiters
