<code>
$query = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $t_category_table
WHERE project_id=" . db_param(0) . " AND " . db_helper_like( 'name', db_param(1) );
$count = db_result( db_query_bound( $query, array( $c_project_id, $c_name ) ) );
</code>

results in this error (note that 'dht' was the value of $c_name in this example):

<code>
