Unexpected meta_query results

    I’m using the value of a form post var in this meta_query but the result page is returning every post in the category, seemingly ignoring the key/value:

    $args = array(
		'category_name' => 'dealers',
		'meta_query' => array(
			array(
				'key' => 'state',
				'value' => '"' . $locationData . '"'
			)
		),
		'orderby' => 'title',
		'order' => 'ASC',
		'posts_per_page' => '-1'
	);

	$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

	//Show posts
	if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
	blah blah etc.

    Also, it’s ignoring the -1 for posts_per_page (which should attempt display all matching posts).

    Have I made a glaring error or is there an issue with this syntax?

    Thanks.

    try with this

    $args = array(
		'category_name' => 'dealers',
		'meta_query' => array(
			array(
				'key' => 'state',
				'value' => $locationData
			)
		),
		'orderby' => 'title',
		'order' => 'ASC',
		'posts_per_page' => '-1'
	);

	$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

	//Show posts
	if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
	blah blah etc.

    Ah, so simple. I have to be careful where I copy code from…

    Works great–gold star for you!
