Hello, Is it possible to create a mysql function from php, or is it command line only? $db = get_db(); $a = $db->query( "DELIMITER $$ " ); echo $db->error; // You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DELIMITER $$' at line 1 $a = $db->query( " DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS `anti_space`$$ CREATE FUNCTION `anti_space` ( inString VARCHAR(1000), replaceThis VARCHAR(1000), replaceWith VARCHAR(1000) ) // You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '$$ CREATE FUNCTION `anti_space` ( inString VARCHAR(1000), replaceThis VARCHA' at line 1 I get errors for these commands, can anybody shed any light on this please?
