Either you're confused...or I am. <g> Are you thinking that the string
must have quotes wrapped around it before it can be used as a parameter to
a function? 'Cuz it's already coming out of the database as a string;
despite the fact that the $databasenumber value gives the appearance of
being a "number", it's not a numercial datatype such as an integer or a
float--it's a string. You should just be able to do some variation (add
appropriate error checking) on the following:
$result=mysql_query("select foo as databasenumber from bar where
whatever='something'");
$row=mysql_fetch_array($result);
extract($row);
runprogram("hls",$databasenumber);
(If the objective really is to concatenate literal quote characters onto a
string, then the other poster already gave you a good solution.)
