Hey guys... I'm currently using PHP, FreeTDS, and Sybase libraries to access a database on an MS SQL 2000 server. Things are going fine, except for my more complex queries. Here is an example: SELECT Servers.Name, Nics.MAC FROM Servers INNER JOIN Nics ON Servers.ServerId = Nics.Server WHERE (((Nics.MAC)="0002B34DA81F")) OR (((Nics.MAC)="0002B34DA76F")) OR (((Nics.MAC)="0002B34DA32D")) OR (((Nics.MAC)="0002B34DA31D")); This query isn't even as bad as it's going to get, but I get the error: "Sybase error: Invalid column name '0002B34DA81F'." I get this for each Nics.MAC entry that I make. If I don't include the "WHERE/OR" statement, the query runs fine. The query runs correctly on the MS SQL server itself, but I can't get it to work here. I assume that PHP just passes the query to the SQL server directly, so there must be something that I'm missing. Do I need to escape more than just the quotes? If there is anything I need to know about PHP and MS SQL before I go on, I'd love to hear it. ;-) Michael
