Ehhh? I think not. Let´s let a mindgame (can´t spell hypo..whatever :-) and say that the MySQL folk figures out they wanna use the same way for escaping as PostgreSQL, then addslashes() would add ' ? The whole idea of nameconvention is gone then :-) But I do agree with You, need to hear *WHY* the mysql_real_escape_string() is better (and a so fu****' long word :) > What problem do you think addslashes() was written to solve? For those who has magic qoutes off? I still can figure out why some people hate that setting so much? Though one´s not safe with only magic quotes, addslashes() are needed too... -- Med venlig hilsen / best regards ComX Networks A/S Kim Madsen Systemudvikler/Systemdeveloper -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
