 * I know it’s probably easy, but it’s very frustrating. Ihave this filter, which
   works:
 *     ```
       function filter_where($where = '') {
           $where .= " AND post_date >= '2012-01-08'";
         return $where;
         }
       ```
   
 * But i can’t make a simple substitution, like
 *     ```
       $weekago='2012-01-08';
   
        $where .= " AND post_date >= $weekago;"
       ```
   
 * which is driving me nuts.
    I’ve tried
 *     ```
       $weekago='2012-01-08';
       $weekago="'" . $weekago . "'";
       ```
   
 * but still doesn’t work.
