$val = "127.0.0.1"; $query = "INSERT INTO node (uri,name) VALUES ('".$val."','bla')"; Try that? -----Original Message----- From: Stefan Reimers [mailto:php@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, September 19, 2004 6:37 PM To: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: SQLite problem INSERTing string Hello, I am currently experiencing a problem with an INSERT statement in SQLite. First of all an excerpt from the code: $val = "127.0.0.1"; $query = "INSERT INTO node (uri,name) VALUES (".$val.",'bla')"; $db_name = "mysqlite"; if($db_hdl = sqlite_open($db_name)){ $db_result = sqlite_query($db_hdl,$query); } I get the error message: Warning: sqlite_query(): near ".": syntax error in C:\Programme\xampp\htdocs\dipl\testclient\sqlite_test.php on line 10 I tried addslashes (which I know I shouldn't), sqlite_escape_string, any variant of quotes etc, I asked google and the searched the news groups but with no relevant result, except the insight, that others experience the same so long unsolved problem or use a syntax in their tutorials that does not work with my code... As you an see from the error message, I use Windows, Apache, PHP4 with SQLite in a 2.8.14 version. If anyone has a clue, please contact me or just answer.
