I think mysql_escape_string() should work fine with utf-8, except that it is being deprecated in 5.3.0. <http://se2.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-escape-string.php> I tend to use the escape functions in very close proximity to the actual query, so I don't see a problem with supplying a connection identifier. /Nisse -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
