Blah sorry, I saw your second example not your final code. Some scripts I use have different database connections and because of that it is very important to always make sure I am using the correct link identifier. The php best practice example checks the string to see if it is a number. If it is there technically isn't any reason to escape because there won't be any quotes. Just out of curiosity how exactly are you going to put the link identifier in your method since it is static?
Hey Eric, The function standalone seems static, but it's implemented in a MySQL class I wrote. I can just add $this->connId as the link identifier And it should work no problem :) Regards, -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
