Variables inside PostgreSQL/PostGIS query in PHP file

I'm trying to migrate Google Maps Store Locator Example from MySQL to
PostgreSQL/PostGIS, and also to display polygons that are in certain radius
base on lat/lng (I using ST_Buffer function for this) at my map.

I guess that I have a problem with a PostgreSQL/PostGIS query variables for
the POINT (that are inside my PHP file), but I cannot determine exact what
is a error inside my code (I am new with PostgreSQL).

I think this because when I run query that have values for the POINT
SELECT ST_AsText (the_geom) as location, name, intptlat, intptlon
FROM tiger_match
WHERE ST_INTERSECTS (the_geom, ST_Buffer((ST_GeomFromText('POINT(-85.1043
34.315)',4326)), 0.1)); everything works fine and polygons appear on my map.

And code that I use inside php is:
<?php
$host = "localhost";
$user = "postgres";
$pass = "2907";
$db = "postgis";

// Get parameters from URL
$intptlat = $_GET["intptlat"];
$intptlon = $_GET["intptlon"];

function parseToXML($htmlStr)
{
$xmlStr=str_replace('<','&lt;',$htmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace('>','&gt;',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace('"','&quot;',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace("'",'&#39;',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace("&",'&amp;',$xmlStr);
return $xmlStr;
}

// Opens a connection to a PostgreSQL
$con = pg_connect("host=$host dbname=$db user=$user password=$pass")
or die ("Could not connect to server\n");

$query = "select ST_AsText (the_geom) as location, name, intptlat, intptlon
FROM tiger_match WHERE ST_INTERSECTS (the_geom,
ST_Buffer((ST_GeomFromText('POINT("$intptlon" "$intptlat")',4326)), 0.1))",
pg_escape_string($intptlat),pg_escape_string($intptlon));;

$rs = pg_query($con, $query) or die("Cannot execute query: $query\n");

header("Content-type: text/xml");

// Start XML file, echo parent node
echo '<markers>';

// Iterate through the rows, printing XML nodes for each
while ($row = @pg_fetch_assoc($rs)){
// ADD TO XML DOCUMENT NODE
echo '<marker ';
echo 'name=&quot;' . parseToXML($row['name']) . '&quot; ';
echo 'intptlat=&quot;' . $row['intptlat'] . '&quot; ';
echo 'intptlon=&quot;' . $row['intptlon'] . '&quot; ';
echo 'the_geom=&quot;' . $row['location'] . '&quot; ';
echo '/>';
}

echo '</markers>';
?>

Any advice is welcome, thanks.
