But when you come to use the sql statement the data bit is "bill o'reilly" and that needs to have another addslashes() on it. Effectively, you want it looking like this when you first insert it: insert into testing_table values(\'bill o\\\'reilly\') > >To do want you want to do, you can try addslashes() on the data bit (ie: > > bill > > >o'reilly), then addslashes() again on the entire $the_sql_command. > > * > How do I do this? I have no idea how to separate the data bit easily. Furthermore it all depends on what kind of sql statements you will be accepting. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* In defeat, unbeatable; in victory, unbearable. -- W.
