Why won't this query work?

Hi Everyone, Attempting to get this query: "SELECT customerName, loginName, email, adminLevel FROM current WHERE customerBusiness=$business ORDER BY adminLevel" to work. So far it doesn't like me... It pops up saying that "Unknown column 'Raoset' in 'where clause'" Here is what I get if I echo the query: SELECT customerName, customerBusiness, loginName, email, adminLevel FROM current WHERE customerBusiness='Raoset' $business is populated from a session variable and echos right... What I can't figure out is what in the world is wrong... If I type in the variable info, it works just fine. So why can't I pull it from a variable? -- Jason Pruim Raoset Inc.
