I concur - it would be nice to have the capability to have a normal string escape function and give it a character set. I mean we should all be using utf-8 anyway, right? Right now I still use mysql_escape_string and it seems to work fine, but it makes me nervous as everything else I use is mysqli and I know it is not 100% compatible (just haven't had anything break it yet) - but I hate having to have a connection handle open just to escape things. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
