From: "Evan Morris" <evan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > I have data in a database that may contain apostrophes. Some databases use the backslash character as an escape character for single quotes, while others use another single quote. Try your query such as: SELECT * FROM Table WHERE name = 'o''mallery' Instead of using addslashes(), you'll need to do a simple str_replace to escape the characters. ---John Holmes... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
