In the escape method in application I work on, when passing in an array, we explode it with ",". This is helpful with things like WHERE x IN (.$db->quote($array).) and UPDATE x SET some_set = .$db->quote($array). As far as serializing and creating a serialize data type, well, it is handy. I have a feeling it may be best to leave it in userland, but it's not a big deal. --Dan -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y data intensive web and database programming http://www.AnalysisAndSolutions.com/ 4015 7th Ave #4, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
