Greetings list. Say I have a function that escapes a string before being passed to MySQL like so: function escape($id, &$string) {

    $string }

Use an array as an alternate method of sending/returning data to the second argument. function escape($id, &$data) { if ( is_array($data) ) { foreach ( $data AS $k => $v ) { escape($id, $v); $data[$k] = $v; } } else { $data = mysql_real_escape_string($data, $id); } } This would handle any number of nested arrays/datasets. Hope it helps.

Will that work properly? $a = "'hello'"; $b = "sup"; $c = "\\hola'"; $d = array($a, $b, $c); escape($id, $d); Jay
