Re: how to handle inserting special characters into a mysql field

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I have a question on mysql_real_escape_string(). The PHP example page shows:

$query = sprintf("SELECT * FROM users WHERE user='%s' AND password='%s'",
           mysql_real_escape_string($user),
           mysql_real_escape_string($password));

and I understand it uses the %s because of sprintf(), to indicate the data is a string. However, thats not syntax I'm used to seeing. If I rewrite the code to the following below, will it return the same results or error when queried?

$user = mysql_real_escape_string($user);
$password = mysql_real_escape_string($password)
$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE user='$user' AND password='$password'";
