Because mysql_real_query() allows the possibility that the query string contains binary data (including null bytes), in which case strlen() won't necessarily be correct. *IF* the query string doesn't have anything like that in it, then your call should work. I just find it hard to believe that a semicolon would cause any problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
