right ok yes I see, but surely thats $querystr = "INSERT INTO mytable (name) VALUES(\"O'leary\") " otherwise the query string gets truncated by PHP at the values point???
My point simply is that he IS using single quotes (see below) and would therefore suffer from this problem (hence the reason for suggesting such additional functionality + consideration to validation of input). > > $stmt = "INSERT INTO $T1 > > ( > > belongs_to, > > name, > > caption, > > country, > > province, > > city, > > glacier, > > park, > > lake, > > mountain, > > beach, > > comment, > > keywords, > > date_taken, > > date_posted > > ) > > VALUES > > ( > > '$user_id', > > '$picture', > > '$caption', > > '$country', > > '$province', > > '$city', > > '$glacier', > > '$park', > > '$lake', > > '$mountain', > > '$beach', > > '$comment', > > '$keyword', > > '$date_taken', > > '$date_posted' > > )"; But I don't want to piss you off and as you will undoubtable have more mysql experience than me so please don't take this as some kind of points scoring exercise / competition - I was just suggesting some additional features he might want to consider at the same point.
