Is this in Perl or PHP3? You should be doing it like:
"select * from table where field like '$txt';"
It's especially important that your query string be delimited by double
quotes in Perl, or it won't interpolate your variable. If unsure, use
the generic quote facility:
qw(select * from table where field like '$txt';)
where the parentheses are functioning as quote characters.
