Is there a way to check the syntax of a query, short of running it? I've got an insert to do (but of course it's a valid question for any query that changes the db contents) and would like to know that the sql I am generating (in php - see! not so off-topic!) is correct. What I don't want to do is run it for testing (live system *sigh*) and find out it is correct (it will change the db), but... I have to test it to check that the syntax (at least) *is* correct. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
