Hi everyone,

I'm starting to experiment with an edit form and I am seeing the following behaviour:

$fname = mysql_real_escape_string($fname);
$lname = mysql_real_escape_string($lname);


$sql = "UPDATE phonedir SET fname = '$fname',lname = '$lname' WHERE  id=$id";
$result = mysql_query($sql);    
echo mysql_error() . "\n";

This will result in the addition of the slashes.



If I do the following, there are no slashes. Just wondering if I'm on the right path with the 1st code set..

$sql = "UPDATE phonedir SET fname = '".mysql_real_escape_string($fname)."',lname = '".mysql_real_escape_string($lname)."' WHERE id=$id";
$result = mysql_query($sql);    
echo mysql_error() . "\n";


Cheers
Haig



I highly recommend you switch to prepared statements and not use mysql_real_escape_string

Prepared statements is the right way, and you don't end up with slashes.
