Probably not. As an aside, I'm really struggling to find a case where it'd be worth base64-encoding the queries like that unless you were both concerned about someone sniffing your queries over the wire and sure that they wouldn't think to base-64 decode them. Not to mention that if your grand idea to prevent eavesdropping is simple transforms, you've got a larger problem on your hands. It *will* work, as mysql's base64 decoder won't evaluate the decoded string as a statement, afaik, but it will also expand the size of stuff by around 30% while having a, imo, much better solution widely available. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
