Say you have the following 5 fields: ID: 1 FirstName: Jessee "Jess" Parker Date: 10/02/2002 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: here So what happens after doing the insertion using placeholders, the information in the table would look like this: ID: 1 FirstName: Jessee Date: Jess Email: Parker Status: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The quotes throw off the insertion into the MySQL table. I'm using placeholders (?) when building the SQL statement and when I perform the execute I am filling in the blanks so to speak. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
