How Did You Hear About Us? Apostrophe in Other

[dreamz]

I have other referrals set up and that is what my customers mostly use so I can track magazines, tv etc. Whenever anyone enters a word with an apostrophe in it like Scruffy's, I get the following error code and I have to go into the database and remove the apostrophe so that the module will show the rest of the referrals for that page. Has anyone been able to fix this bug?

1064 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 's' order by ci.customers_info_id DESC' at line 1
in:
[select ci.customers_info_id, ci.customers_info_date_account_created from customers_info ci, sources_other so where so.customers_id = ci.customers_info_id and so.sources_other_name = 'Scruffy's' order by ci.customers_info_id DESC]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Anyone have an idea about how to fix this - it pretty much ruins the module.

I have the same problem with orders. If the customer has an apostrophe in their name or their company name, then MYSQL just barfs all over it...

What's interesting is that the name and company name make it into the database as a customer, but when that data gets moved into an order, then the error occurs.

Worse, if you use Authorize.net, the card is processed but Zen Cart does not have the order. Fortunately, we authorize at checkout and capture in a second step so we don't have to credit people who try multiple times.

Zen Cart v1.3.7

I have been searching through the forums but all I can find is that you need to insert a backslash before a quote when defining some text, I haven't seen this problem. I find it hard to believe that we're the only one who has a customer with an apostrophe in their name or company name.

All that is by way of saying, I apologize in advance if this has been answered before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
Help would be appreciated.

OK, I screwed up twice here.

1) I posted in the wrong forum - My issue was with checkout

2) I didn't search long enough.

Going back to 2007, I found that there is some kind of patch for apostrophes.

The code in this patch might help.

Sorry.
