I tend to do this robert,
while looking at your example i thought to myself since i am trying to mimick a
shell command why not run one.
Result:
<?
$db = 'db';
$host = 'host';
$user = 'user';
$pass = 'pass';
$query = "select * from $db.my_table";
$ddvery = shell_exec("mysql -u$user -p$pass --html --execute=$query");
echo "<pre>$ddvery</pre>";
?>
Not are the results safe but the unlimited possibilites are amazing. Thanks so
much for the kick starter

<?php
$db = 'db';
$host = 'host';
$user = 'user';
$pass = 'pass';
$query = "select * from my_table";
$db = escapeShellArg( $db );
$host = escapeShellArg( $host );
$user = escapeShellArg( $user );
$pass = escapeShellArg( $pass );
$query = escapeShellArg( $query );
$command = "echo $query | mysql --html -h$host -u$user -p$pass $db";
echo 'Command: '.$command."\n";
$html = `$command`;
echo $html."\n";
?>
Cheers,
Rob.
