Re: About Buggy SQL Query

mySQL database becomes inaccessible after a buggy sql string gets queried. The SQL server runs fine, however it seems like just the database is being looped infinitely so to say. Here is an example: (PHP) $sql = "SELECT * FROM DB_TABLE WHERE PR_NUMBER = $whatever, DFLJJ = $SD;LOOE"; (<-- invalid sql query string) mysql_query($sql); When this query string is queried during the (webpage) loading process, the webpage just gets timed out without any error nor warning messages. Does anyone know if there is a certain way to prevent mysql database from stalling due to buggy sql strings?

use mysql_real_escape_string to stop it from happening. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
