From: Mark Benson <markbenson@mac.com> To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] Hyphens and MySQL Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2005 14:21:34 +0000 I am having problems with entering data into MySQL from a PHP script. I am taking the data from an array generated by a CSV parsing routine. That in itself works great, however I have large number of data units with '-' characters in (hyphens) and it is causing the SQL queries to dump out with an error in the syntax. I can't get around it by putting a slash in front of them (using 'addcslashes'), it will just not at all accept them. Are they the 'wrong' type of slash? Is there an easy way to search and replace/remove characters in a string in PHP? -- Mark Benson http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
