Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-01 12:03:12] john at curioussymbols dot com Description: ------------ In http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.db.intro-dsn.php it would be helpful if a method for " If your database, option values, username or password contain characters used to delineate DSN parts, you can escape them via URI hex encodings" were explicitly cited. Am I to assume that if I urlencode() these parts of my DSN then everything will be OK?
