2012-03-22 Thread Chris Stinemetz
Hello List, Is it possible to create a MySQL table with characters such as . and [] in the column headers? If so would you explain how? Thank you, Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Leave the past behind. You're moving forward. And - for whatever reason that they were used originally, you now have the opportunity to rid yourself of column names that must be a pia to type all the time. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit:
