After posting this on the MySQL list and getting some feedback we were
able to determine that this was not a flaw with MySQL. Any ideas from
the PHP community?
=======
Can anyone tell me why this does not work? I am using php and mysql.
When I do an insert from select into a mysql table I get an error
whenever a value from the select portion of the query contains an
apostrophe. Before I insert the initial value I use the php
addslashes() function to escape the ' and " characters.
For example:
If clients table contans a field called fname and it has a value of
"O'Henry". Remembering that I have used addslashes() before inserting
the value into mysql in the first place.
The following query will fail on insert:
Sql = "insert into orders (fname) SELECT fname from clients where
clientid = '$clientid'";
