Ok. The error is gone. I had to at @ before $count, but it doesn't reflect an accurate comment count, and somehow leaves the first article out. If you load this link, http://www.illumemag.com/zine/categoryIndex.php you can see.

Thanks.

I updated with this and it works well. Thanks for all your help Jason!

<?php
$trans = array("-" => "", " " => "-", ";" => "", "'" => "", ":" => "");
$commentValue = "/zine/articleDetail.php?".strtr($record['title'], $trans)."-".$record['num'];
@$count = mysql_select_count_from("comments","commentValue='$commentValue'");
?><?php echo @$count; ?>

Hi,

I just added to the array to remove question marks. It seems to be working now. If you run into any other problems, just let me know.

Thanks

Hi,

You can try adding the single and double quotes to your array that's used to remove characters from the string.
Something like this:
$trans = array("-" => "", " " => "-", ";" => "", "'" => "-", ":" => "","?"=>"","\'"=>"","\""=>"");

This should strip out single and double quotes completely.

Hope this helps.
