Resetting a session variable problem

Hi,
I set a session variable After a Successful login. This works fine.

I want to reset this session variable after editing a certain page just in case the value has been modified since logging in.

So I have used the following code in the "Before Record Updated" event on the Edit page:

...

$_SESSION["var_mothertongue"] = $values["mothertongue"];

...


If I test the value by displaying the value with an echo on another page it has correctly captured the value but has put single quote marks around it? As it is a value in a drop down list that is set as the default, it is not recognised with the quote marks:
e.g.

'French'

instead of

French
Can you advise? Thanks in advance for your assistance! <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=3252&image=1&table=forumtopics' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' />

Andy,
to remove single quotes use substr function:

$_SESSION["var_mothertongue"] = substr($values["mothertongue"],1,strlen($values["mothertongue"])-2);
