Hi Everyone,

I need an extra pair of eyes! I have a super-simple query:

$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT post_id FROM blog_posts WHERE post_uri = 'the-test-post' LIMIT 1");
$row = $result->fetch_array();

and this gives me the post_id. However, if I insert a variable for post_uri, the result is empty. Ways I tried of which none worked:

$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT post_id FROM blog_posts WHERE post_uri = '".$post_uri."' LIMIT 1");


$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT post_id FROM blog_posts WHERE post_uri = ".$post_uri." LIMIT 1");


$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT post_id FROM blog_posts WHERE post_uri = $post_uri LIMIT 1");

I have similar query on another page working just right, so that confuses me even more. Help appreciated.
