Thanks for the great response. The database has a list of words on each line like, First, National, Bank. If someone enters "National Bank" it triggers the error even though both words are on the list. Point taken on quoting integers. I get the whitelist from the database like this: 
$pointer7 = $sth7->fetchrow_hashref;
    $good_orgs = $pointer7->{'good_orgs'};
    @orgs = split /\n/,$good_orgs;

I tried your code and it still triggers the error if the org has 2 words from the list in it. Hmm...
