I've tried several other variations and can't add the record with code. ---------------- Here is my .htaccess file: RemoveHandler .html .htm AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html ---------------- I had to add that to get php to work within an html file. My host is arvixe - Linux hosting Test script: --------------- \\(where $uname = "webmaster" and $pword = "abcd", and the $db_variables assigned \\ This is in an included file, db_connect.php 8 $mysqli = new mysqli($host, $db_username, $db_password, $db_name); 9 if ($mysqli->connect_errno) { 10 echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: (" . $mysqli->connect_errno . ") " . $mysqli->connect_error; -------------------- } // This is where I'm having trouble: the "\'" characters aren't working as '. 22 $qtext = "INSERT INTO \'members\' (\'" . $uname . "\' , \'" . $pword . "\')"; 23 echo $qtext; 24 if (!$mysqli->query($qtext)) { 25 echo "Table insertion failed: (" . $mysqli->errno . ") " . $mysqli->error; 26 } Expected result: ---------------- I expect a record to be added to table 'members' with the following field values: (there are only 3 fields: id int(4)(autoincrement), username varchar(65), password varchar(65)) id = 6 (or some number), username = "webmaster", password = "abcd" Actual result: -------------- This from the echo $qtext, the if(), and the SQL server: INSERT INTO \'members\' (\'webmaster\' , \'abcd\')Table insertion failed: (1064) You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '\'members\' (\'webmaster\' , \'abcd\')' at line 1 ----------------- The backslash code is not translating special characters. "\'" should be interpreted as a single quote, but it isn't. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65053&edit=1
