Yeah, I prefer the ... '".$_POST["varname"]."' ... syntax primarily because of the way my editor (EditPlus) highlights the code. I tried the braces syntax in EditPlus and it doesn't highlight the same way. I'll check out the editors you guys (Jason and Jeffrey) use to see if I like them and maybe I'll switch (especially if they're free :) ).
I'll admit, the whole quote-dot syntax thing is a bigger pain than the braces syntax. But I'm not aware of any performance or security issues related to the use of quote-dot notation. If there are any, I'd certainly like to be made aware of them. However, I think it comes down to issues of personal preference and the coding standards of your individual corporate environment or client. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason Wong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2004 10:09 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] No data being put into the DB > > > On Thursday 04 March 2004 10:36, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > >>IMO it is better to use the braces syntax: > > >>"insert into show > > >>values('','{$_POST['Accnt_name']}','{$_POST['acc_num']}', ...)" > > > > I'm not second guessing at all, just curious as to why?
