Hi, I have an SQL statement that is ran when data is submitted through a form. When someone types in a word with an ' such as farmer's the SQL statement fails. I tried $_POST[data] = addslashes($_POST[data]); before executing the SQL statement, but the statement still fails. any suggestions? using words without a ' works fine. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
