I know I have seen this before, but can't remember and am hard pressed for time. I have an app which wrote a bunch of HTML (tables, style definitions, etc) to a file and then it was displayed later. Well now, instead of saving it to a file, I want to store it in MySQL. It keeps failing. Do I need to do anything special before I insert it? Right now, my query looks like this: $sql = "INSERT INTO orders SET user_id = ".$_POST['user_id'].", order = '".$WRITE_TO_FILE."'"; Where WRITE_TO_FILE is a var which has all the data via $WRITE_TO_FILE .= "blah blah"; $WRITE_TO_FILE .= "blah blah"; $WRITE_TO_FILE .= "blah blah"; $WRITE_TO_FILE .= "blah blah";
