I'm trying to store a mysql query in a debug log table if there is a problem with the query. I've tried using addslashes and a few other commands. I don't have a problem putting the data into the database but when I view it with sqlyog its f'ed up beyond belief. Is there another/better way to store this information? > > > > Thanks, > > Matt > > > > What's f'ed up?

Instead, use mysql_real_escape_string, which uses the character set of your current connection to fix the string. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
