Since you are using DBI, why not bind the variables and be done with it? this would become $query = $db->prepare("INSERT INTO metadata (md5, origin, name, value) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)"); $query->execute($md5, $origin, $name, $value); This way you don't have to deal with double quoting and all that. (You can also call bind_param, but I find it easier to just pass args into execute) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jeff Trout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.jefftrout.com/ Ronald McDonald, with the help of cheese soup, controls America from a secret volkswagon hidden in the past ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
