It's recommended to use mysql_real_escape_string() to eacape funky characters. Addslashes() does the same thing but as we are storing data in the database so it's better to offload it to the database. In future if database needs to escape another character then mysql_real_escape_string() will take care of it easily. > Thanks for your time, > Kathleen Hardik Doshi > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
