My apologies for the duplicate post. In an effort to keep everything I
subscribe to from cluttering my inbox I setup a secondary address for my
subscriptions. Normally when I accidently post to a list from my primary
address it simply bounces back and tells me to subscribe. I'm not sure why
it didn't this time (shrug), and hadn't noticed that it was sent out before
I sent out the second one.
I do see what you mean by the order of operations. This could be written in
3 sql_queries instead of 4. While this particular project isn't that taxing
on my server, my next project is similar, but on a much larger scale. Thanks
for the tip.
I looked at serveral of the function suggestions and indeed stumbled accross
htmlspecialchars when doing research on another suggestion:
mysqli_real_escape_string which I couldn't use since I'm not on PHP5. While
htmlspecialchars may not offer as much security as the later it should would
for my purposes.
Thanks for your help, and again sorry for the duplicate post. I'm really not
an idiot, I just have to many e-mail address.
