Apostrophes in value of find() selector fields

[creativejay]

I'm using find in a sidebar to retrieve other pages in my site that share the same subject matter, as set in a text field. The trouble I'm running into is that, when that field's user entry contains apostrophes, find() does not return any results.

if(!$polish) { $polish = wire('page');}	
	$polish_year = $polish->blog_year;	
	$polish_brand = $polish->blog_brand;	
	$polish_collection = $polish->blog_polish_collection;
	$polish_name = $polish->blog_name;
	$postID = $polish->id;
	$samePolishPosts = wire('pages')->find("template=blog-post, blog_polish_collection=$polish_collection, blog_brand=$polish_brand, blog_year=$polish_year, blog_name=$polish_name, blog_categories=1040, id!=$postID");

Any tips?

depending on which field is is you could use

htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES);

can you provide more info on the fields you are trying to match?

On each page there is a Text field called "blog_name" which is currently using HTML Entity Encoder (htmlspecialchars) and Strip Markup Tags for formatting, and Strip Tags is checked on the Input tab.

In the specific case that revealed the problem with apostrophes, the value of the field is set to "There's Snow One Like You"
