-----Original Message----- From: Don Wieland [mailto:donw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2012 12:46 PM To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: passing /n into query ERROR I have a query below. When I try to run it with PHP it errors: DATABASE_ERROR: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'' at line 38 IN BUT where I copy the echoed query and paste into into my Sequel Pro query editor and run it - works perfectly. Can someone shone some light on this? Frustrating - to say the least.
