Firstly please accept my aplogies for the deay in responding to your
questions, I;ve had the most terrible flu.
pseudo code (ish), as I've completely bastardised what I had when I
posed the question.
// insert newsletter into newsleter_tbl in database ...
from a form, body in a textarea field, client wants to type in
whatever he likes with database column names as varibles, eg $email,
$first_name
this is the newsletter write on newsletter_new.php
if ($submit){
// removed error checking etc
$email_subject = htmlentities(addslashes($email_subject));
// tried various combintions of htmlentities, addslashes and nothing
when writting field to DB
if ($email_style == 1){
$email_body = htmlentities(addslashes($email_body));
}else{
$email_body = addslashes($email_body);
}
$email_style = htmlentities(addslashes($email_style));
$query = INSERT INTO newsletters_tbl (email_subject, email_body,
email_date, email_style) VALUES ('$email_subject', '$email_body',
NOW(), '$email_style');
if ($result = mysql_query($query, $connection)) {
$newsletter_id= mysql_insert_id($connection);
print (pbSuccess/b Add newsletter (# $newsletter_id)
successful. /p\n);
print (pa
href=\newsletter_test.php?this_nid=$newsletter_idamp;sid=$sidamp;page=$page\CLICK

} else {
printf (pbError: %s\n, mysql_errno () . /bbr);
printf (%s\n, mysql_error () . br);
print ($query/p\n);
}
}
}
// BTW the contact details are in another table in database already.
// Sending out the newsletter
$nquery= SELECT c.id, first_name, email FROM contact_tbl c LEFT OUTER
