RE: [PHP] updating pages with php

When I take the comma's out it works. then I try to put them back in and it will not work. What I have discovered is that I can manually type it in the mysql server with whatever characters I want, but when I try to update it with a sql file or via the webpage I created with the comma's it gives me errors. I take them out of the sql text and webpage and it works fine.

I was going to store the paragraph in a mySQL DB and create an administration page so people could easily edit the paragraph itself or change it all together. The problem I ran into is that mySQL will not allow certain punctuation inside of a record (no comma's). So now I am left trying to figure out how I can have the user update the paragraph without having it in a db. Can someone shoot me in the proper direction? Thanks in advance, your help is greatly appreciated. MySQL will allow any characters; the problem is in your code. ---John W. Holmes... PHP Architect - A monthly magazine for PHP Professionals.
