>*How* are you commenting out? Mysql accepts /* such comments */, so if you want to transform a line in your SQL query string into a comment, you gotta do it that way. so this is just wrong: $x = " select * // from foo from bar"; and that query would be valid "SELECT this/*, that*/ from x" -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
