You do need to take a little more care when using variables IN strings and watch that they are highlighted. As you say, the parsing is not actually wrong as it is valid 'text' and adding SQL parsers for every database is not really practical and probably would not fix the problem anyway? Personally I use Firebird, and have always built the SQL using parameters, so that the SQL is pure text, and values are passed in an array. This is something MySQL was a lot later in catching onto, but many of the simple security problems are totally eliminated using that approach. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Ethan - you are simply missing two dollar signs as pointed out. Once
you correct them, if there are any more errors you should then be
seeing
the message from mysqli_error.
And as for the advice to dump single quotes, I'd ignore it. The use of
double and single quotes is a very handy feature and makes for very
readable code. Escaping double quotes is such a royal pia and
makes for
more trouble deciphering code later on. The sample you provided
for us
is some of the best and most understandable code you've ever showed
us.
Also - Ethan - if you used an editor that was designed for php you
probably would have seen these missing $ signs since a good one would
highlight php syntax and the lack of the $ would have produced a
different color than you expected.
Jim -
I used Netbeans. All it said is variable unused is scope, which is
a error that I often find does not mean anything. I am as pressurized
as you are. Any suggestions as to an editor?
Ethan
Did you mean to say unused IN scope? That would be telling you that
it is not yet defined and that could be a problem if you expect to be
already defined.
Several other posts here have listed their favorites. Notepad ++
seems to be a favorite. I use HTML-kit Tools as my developing
environment. Handles highlighting for php, html and js, as well as
project organization. Also includes an ftp engine to allow me to
modify, upload and then go test my code very quickly. (I don't run php
or apache locally.)
Jim -
Thanks.
unused IN scope - correct.
There are lots of editors mentioned in this email trail. I thank all
for the suggestions.
Netbeans, Aptana Studio, etc will all highlight code and show the errors
the code would generate in a browse. The problem here was two missing $
signs.
I'm probably wrong, but in some contexts; eg, sql query, $ signs are not
used. I tried and added the incorrect $ sign, and Netbeans did not
complain. If anyone knows of an editor that will able to spot this kind
of error, please inform the list.
Ethan
Wrong in one sense - all php vars must have a $ sign. When building a
query statemtent, if the editor doesn't tell you something (by not
colorizing it) Sql is going to tell you when you attempt to run it.
That's why one should ALWAYS include an error check after any operation.
BTW - this line
echo '$sql2br /';
isn't going to give you what you want.

The feature which you mentioned for a good php editor, sounds exciting, offcourse i would be looking only at the free ones There are a number of options for highlighting and error checking just about every language. Running Linux most of them are free ;) gedit and kwrite highlight automatically and help identify problems. In the past I've been running on both linux and windows so something cross platform was essential, and it's still nice when I do have to worry about windows sites. Eclipse provides that base, and while PDT is the official plugin for PHP, I'm back on the older PHPEclipse as it fits much better with the way I work. With properly commented libraries it provides pop-up crib sheets onthe parameters for a selected function, and of cause the auto complete can be configured to match your preferred way of working ...
