note 48187 added to function.mysql-query

When inserting a row, a TEXT field would always turn out to be all funky characters....like !(#^$)@ )$%@)( It took me the better part of a day to figure out what I did: <? $str = "http://somewhere.com/?id=" & "1&bd=" . "w00"; // instead of ---------------------^ $str = "http://somewhere.com/?id=" . "1&bd=" . "w00"; ?> wow do i feel stupid! i just wish i could have those hours i wasted on this back....hope this helps someone ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+48187 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48187&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48187&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48187&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48187&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48187&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48187&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+48187&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
