Storing a in mysql?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 26.2007

I am trying to use php to put some information into a mysql database and it involves some which mysql doesn’t seem to be able to store directly? I’m not sure if this is a problem with the sql statement or that mysql just plain can’t store a ?

I would assume there is some sort of escape needed to get it in? And then unescape once you pull it out again? Or is there an easier way? I already use this data in many areas and it would be possible to go escape and unescape everywhere I use it but definitely a hassle.

@MatMelJul 26.2007 — You have to escape it with another :

""

You can also let the myslq function "mysql_real_escape_string" do it for you.

@xvszeroauthorJul 26.2007 — Thanks, the function worked fine.

Plus it doesn't seem to require an unescape or anything, which saves me a LOT of hassle. Because I really only write to this data in two areas, but I use it everywhere.

Success!
