MSSQL Syntax

Hi all, I'm moving from MySql to MSSQL and have a quick syntax question: Generally, when I perform an update or insert statement with a variable that has a ' or " I either addslashes (or in this case PHP does it by itself). My insert statement would then look like this: $query = "INSERT INTO quest (name,image,descrption,start,expiration,parent) values ('$name','$image','$description','$start','$expiration','$catid')"; However, MSSQL doesn't seem to like that and I have to use this: $query = "INSERT INTO quest (name,image,descrption,start,expiration,parent) values (\"$name\",'$image',\"$description\",'$start','$expiration','$catid')"; Is that you all's experience as well. Thanks. -Flint ________________________________________________ Flint Doungchak Web Applications Development Net Solutions LLC 840 Lawrence Street Eugene, OR 97401 VOICE (541) 345-7087 FAX (541) 485-5519 flint@netsolutionsllc.com www.netsolutionsllc.com
