I'm working with a simple form which submits field data to a MySQL database. This is for the purpose of generating a dynamic news page for my site. Interestingly enough I've found that any time I try to submit data that contains an apostrophe "'" it gives me an error and will not send the data (any of it) to the database. How can I change my database query, or escape out apostrophes? I'm looking for the easiest fix out there of course. Below is my current DB query. I realize I'm using apostrophes for my variables... is this acceptable syntax and/or is there a replacement? $query = "INSERT into $table values ('0', '$year', '$month', '$day', '$hour', '$minutes', '$seconds', '$article_name', '$content', '$admin_name')"; __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
