I am developing a website where by people can buy and sell new or used cars. I want to set up a simple filter using php and sql statements and also of course html select boxes (drop down options). I have gotten all the other options to work with help and trust me it has been greatly appreciated. However i have been trying to get the "price filter" to work and been getting no where. Below is what my select box in html look like. <select name="price" size="0"> <option value="100000">Under $100,000</option><option value="<?php echo " BETWEEN '100000' AND '250000' "?>">Between $100,000 and $250,000</option><option value=">250000<500000">Between $250,000 and $500,000</option><option value=">500000<750000">Between $500, 000 and $750,000</option><option value=">7500000">Over $750,000</option> </select> This is my $_POST statement for the price variable: $price = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['price']); This is my sql statement: $sql = sprintf("SELECT * FROM `chjadb_vehicles` WHERE `v_make` LIKE '$make'AND `v_year` = '$year'AND `v_trans` LIKE '$trans'AND `condition` LIKE '$cond' AND `b_style` LIKE '$b_style' AND `v_price` '$price'"); After which i have a basic loop that should print the results. Now from what i understand (correct or not), when the user selects a specific option from the drop down menu the value from "option value" is passed to the $_POST statement. After which it should replace $price with the actual text BETWEEN '100000' AND '250000', completing the query statement. So the final statement printed from the sql statement should be: "SELECT * FROM `chjadb_vehicles` WHERE `v_make` LIKE '$make'AND `v_year` = '$year'AND `v_trans` LIKE '$trans'AND `condition` LIKE '$cond' AND `b_style` LIKE '$b_style' AND `v_price` BETWEEN '100000' AND '250000'"` However i get this error: 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 ''BETWEEN 100000 AND 250000'' at line 8 Any ideas as to where i went wrong?
