Or you could do it like this:
$query="some query " ."some more of this query " ."still some more query " ."and so on and so forth...;" ; The tabs are no needed, I just put them there to make it easy to understand that all those lines are actually just one line. --------------------- Johnny Withers [EMAIL PROTECTED] p. 601.853.0211 c. 601.209.4985 -----Original Message----- From: Brett Burgess [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 11:25 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: long query on php Here is how I do it: $query = "some query "; $query.="some more of the same query "; $query.="still more query "; $query.="and so on... "; $rst = mysql_query($query); NOTE: you need to add a space at the end of each line (after the last word and before the closing quotations) if you plan on continuing the query on the next line, or else your SQL will be invalid.

I mean i.e a "create table" statement with more than 400 chars. Have I to use shorter "create" and then "alter"?
