Hi, I am trying to INSERT into a MSAccess database using PHP 4.3 - I have a problem when I enter a name like O'Donnell. In mysql I would normally just backslash the single quote but this doesn't work with MSAccess. is there a fix for this?? Thanks in adv. Jason
Most DBs allow you to use '' to quote a single quote. So: INSERT INTO table (name) VALUES ('O''Donnel'); Or you could do the obvious and use: INSERT INTO table (name) VALUES ("O'Donnel"); But that doesn't work with, say Oracle. (mysql handles both quotes just fine) -- paperCrane <Justin Patrin> -- Question Everything, Reject Nothing
