Simple query not working

[eluser]LuckyFella73[/eluser]
Before setting up your query just replace the wanted parts
of your string comming from your xml file like this:

Code:

<?php
// $country = "<COUNTRYCODE>US</COUNTRYCODE>"; example
$searchfor = array("<COUNTRYCODE>","</COUNTRYCODE>");
$country = str_replace($searchfor, "", $country);

// $region = "<REGIONNAME>GEORGIA</REGIONNAME>"; example
$searchfor = array("<REGIONNAME>","</REGIONNAME>");
$region = str_replace($searchfor, "", $region);

?&gt;

This way you get the "pure" data ..
