This is a DBI question no? This is CGI. Try a different list - don't know
the DBI mailing list address sorry. If you are looking for a regexp to
replace your ' marks that should be quite easy - s/\'/replacementtext/g;
but i expect that will throw up more problems in your SQL than it solves.

Subject: select where clause question with replace subquestion
I'm trying to build a dynamic piece of code that generates a HTML view like
a year planner for all employees in the company all on one page. My appraoch
is to use 2 Quesries, the first getting all the active employee names and
the second then determines the dates of absence and plot that on a 365
dayscale to show the absence and type of absence on a simple sideways
stacked barrgraph generated using shaded table fields. This works very well
and my second query looks like this:
SELECT username, dayofyear(startdate),
dayofyear(enddate),dayofyear(enddate) - dayofyear(startdate)+1 , absencetype
FROM `absence`
where username = '$Name $Surnames[$idx]'
order by absencetype
The problem that I encounter is with the Irish surnames like O'Kelly and
O'Flynn. In the where clause the variables will translate to:
where username = 'Niall O'Kelly' and the Kelly part will cause an error
message:
DBD::mysqlPP::st execute failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax near
'Kelly'
order by
absencetype
' at line 3 at
D:\Data\script\emp_year.cgi line 29.
I was hoping to replace the ' with some escape code for ' using a search and
replace feature but I am not that familiar with search and replace yet. Can
anyone offer me some valuable assistance or pointers to my problem.
