hi the mysql manual suggests that we use the mysql_escape_string() function when generating dynamic urls.
Hmm ... Where does the MySQL manual say this?
is there any other situation when it is required? and could someone explain when/why this would be needed for urls...other than to make the browser understand that character (such as ' # etc. in the url).
It's not needed for URLs at all. When you're generating dynamic URLs, you're generating web pages, not generating data to be stored in MySQL. I don't understand your question at all.
and if magic_quotes_gpc is on, any and all escape characters are backslashed right? how does when check what the accepted mysql escape characters are? (like -- for a comment)
I don't understand this, either. Dash is not an escape character.
thanks abs
