hi, I saw several times that some people use this $parameters = array( 'param1' => "{$_POST["param1"]}", 'param2' => "{$_POST["param2"]}" ); or $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE id='{$session_id}'"); I would use: $parameters = array( 'param1' => $_POST["param1"], 'param2' => $_POST["param2"] ); and $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE id=' ".$session_id." ' "); does it really matter? is there really difference or these are just two "styles"? thanks. -ll ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
