I'm trying to enter data into MySQL and can't seem to be able to enter the question mark and the quote characters. I've tried every way of quoting (and backslashing) I can think of to no avail. With the quote I get an error from MySQL saying the query was bad (i.e. the query ended at the quote) and with the question mark it gets entered as a funky block that, when read from mysql and printed by perl, is "NULL". This is probably more of a MySQL question than perl but I haven't been able to find anything in any of the MySQL documentation about it so I'm not so sure.
I've currently sidestepped the problem by using the HTML special character notation (the text is HTML content) but it's a duct-tape/coat-hanger solution that doesn't work for me in the long term. Any help is appreciated. _42 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo!
