Thanks David, I set magic_quotes_sybase to "On" (even though I'm using oracle) and that did the trick. php.ini ; Use Sybase-style magic quotes (escape ' with '' instead of \'). magic_quotes_sybase = On
I was able to insert data with an apostrophie into the database from a form and the data looks good. Seems like Sybase and Oracle treat single quotes in a similar way. I wonder why there is no magic_quotes_oracle? -Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Robley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Kevin Dewsnup" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2001 5:57 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Problems inserting single quote into Oracle database > On Wed, 31 Oct 2001 11:01, Kevin Dewsnup wrote: > > I am having problems with inserting single quote's > > into an oracle 8.1.7 database through a form. > > > > When inserting 'its' it works fine. > > > > When inserting 'it's' I get this error: > > "OCIParse: ORA-01756: quoted string not properly > > terminated in blah..." > > > > So then I try 'it''s' (which works in SQL*Plus) I get > > this error: > > "OCIStmtExecute: ORA-00911: invalid character in > > blah..." > > > > Thank's in advance! > > > > -Kevin > > Backslash works for mysql.
