RE: [PHP] Adding a variable to oracle that contains quotation mar ks??

Thanks Rick & Henry, but I am still unable to add single quotation marks '. When I added the \' to the variable as given below (thanks again Rick) I get the following error when trying to add anything, regardless of ': Warning: Ora_Parse failed (ORA-00911: invalid character -- while processing OCI function OPARSE) in /services/apache_1.3.22/www-dev/isg/isg_tools/activitytracker/admin/selectac tivity.php on line 28 Perhaps I'm missing something very small? I have done a stripslash on the variable also, but with no extra success! Any ideas? Dave P.S. Henry, the double quotation is ok. -----Original Message----- From: Henry [mailto:henry@cafelab.com] Sent: 21 January 2003 13:12 To: Rick Emery; Rea_David@emc.com; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Adding a variable to oracle that contains quotation marks?? Once you use double quota mark the character BackSlash doesn't need anymore that's my experience ^_^ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Emery" <remery@emeryloftus.com> To: <Rea_David@emc.com>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 8:56 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Adding a variable to oracle that contains quotation marks?? > $query = "UPDATE ACTIVITY SET COMMENTS = \'$updatecomments\' WHERE ACTIVITY_ID =\'$actcode\'"; > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <Rea_David@emc.com> > To: <php-general@lists.php.net> > Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 6:53 AM > Subject: [PHP] Adding a variable to oracle that contains quotation marks?? > > > Hi All, > > I'm trying to add a variable to an oracle database but it fails due > to the fact that it contains quotation marks.
