I have a legacy database with a field which contains some parentheses, like “red(b)”.
But if I try to query for that value, the parentheses come out encoded.
This query:
select * from table where field1 = "red(b)"
Becomes this query:
select * from table where field1 = "red & #40; b & #41; "
(I put a space between the & and # so it would show).
This return no rows.
Any ideas on how to handle this?
Hey Nick, thank for your help.
As it turned out, the encoding took place between routing.php and my controller. So all I had to do was reverse it at the controller to eliminate the encoded parentheses. The query is working great now.
