title: Can't insert link into mysql database
body: <p>Here is a part of my insert code that troubles me:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$recepient="test@email.com";
  $text="Please track: http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processInputRequest?HTMLVersion=5.0&amp;loc=en_US&amp;Requester=UPSHome&amp;tracknum=123456789&amp;AgreeToTermsAndConditions=yes&amp;ignore=&amp;track.x=24&amp;track.y=9";
  $date="2013-05-03 08:12:20"; 
  $through="mail";
  $status=1;
  $q = "INSERT INTO `messages` (`recepient`,`text`,`date`,`through`,`status`) VALUES('".mysql_real_escape_string($to)."','".mysql_real_escape_string($text)."','".date("Y-m-d H:i:s")."','".mysql_real_escape_string($rowuser['through'])."','".intval($status)."')";
  try {$db-&gt;query($q);} catch(PDOException $ex) {echp" Error: ".$ex.);}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I remove the link from the $text variable I can see the data added to the database. But in the way I need it to add with the link - the script stops not reporting any errors.</p>
