uhmmm... i'll give a try to mysql_real_escape_string(), which i understand formats the data into a valid sql string (without any special characters, like \ and ' ).
shoud i use an analog function when retriving the data? because if i "encode" the data, shouldn't i "decode" it? if so, which function should i use? thanks for your replys.... karima On 8/16/05, Warren Young <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Karima Velasquez wrote: > > character is: \ (backslash). > > Of course that will cause problems.
