[SOLVED] problem with usernames that start with numbers. Collation or what type?

[A2xA]

In my script it gets the users username and does a..

 

WHERE userUser = "' . $user . '"';

 

This works fine for every user except ones that have there usernames start with any number.

 

userUser's mysql info is..

 

Field  Type  Collation  Attributes  Null  Default  Extra

 

userUser  varchar(16)  latin1_swedish_ci   No 

 

 

It's also stored fine.  Just verifying the WHERE is not working.

 

Thanks  :-\

Have you echoed your query string to see what it actually contains?

 

And why have you cross-posted this question?

I cross-posted because I didn't know if the problem had to do with mysql or php, and after I posted it here I thought it could've been a php problem, which it was.  It had to do with .htaccess

 

Thanks though
