I always found this way of inserting data into a database messy. Here is
a handy function to do array inserts and it builds the sql for you.

RD That .1% of the time being when you need to insert a value as now() ?
RD (which will break the string check as it'll wrap it with '' which will
RD cause MySQL to insert -00-00 00:00:00) or if it's an enum field
RD with a numeric allowed value? :)
Not really, since you usally format a
RD But now() IS a DB friendly format for MySQL and is the recommended
RD way of inserting the current time into a datetime or timestamp
RD field.
But what about MsSQL, Oracle and postgres to name a few. I have worked
on a few projects where you read from one db and load into another db.
Dates
You could even do:
$sql .= ( '.implode( ',' , $a ).' );
This way everything is quoted though ( but this doesn't matter using
MySQL anyway ).
If you want to escape the values of $a you could use array_map to
do this also without having to loop :-)

they both use the same identical format to insert the arrays. there
is an interesting problem though: the first one complains about use
of undefined constant add - assumed 'add' in the second query...the
first one
