Hi All,
I created a table using the create command.
create table trivia
(
entry_id integer not null auto_increment,
trivia text null
);
Now I have a fle tvia.txt, the content of which are as follows:
The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing.
The longest one-syllable word in the English language is "screeched".
All of the clocks in the movie "Pulp Fiction" are stuck on 4:20.
No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple.
I want to insert each line of the file in a new row in the table.
I wrote the following code for it.
<?php
include "db.php";
dbconnect("guestbook2k");
$fcontents=file("tvia.txt");
while (list ($line_num, $line) = each ($fcontents)) {
$query="insert into trivia (trivia) values ('$line')";
$result = mysql_query($query)
or die("Query failed: "
."<li>errorno=".mysql_errno()
."<li>error=".mysql_error()
."<li>query=".$query
);
echo "<b>Line $line_num:</b> ". $line . "<br>\n";
}
?>
I got the following error.
Query failed:
errorno=1064
error=You have an error in your SQL syntax near 's left hand does 56% of the typing.
')' at line 1
query=insert into trivia (trivia) values ('The average person's left hand does 56% of
the typing. ')
Now I know that I got the error because there was ( ' ) in the first line. So how do
I prevent this. Or in other words insert into
the table text containing
( ' ) and ( " ) or for that matter any metacharacter.
Thank You in Advance.
