mysql_db_query... doesn´t work with srin

[Anon]

Hi there!

I´ve got a little problem with mysql_db_query.
Here it comes:

I created a table like this in mysql:

create table test (name char(30), number int);

with mysql.exe i can insert, delete and so on...
But in php with mysql_db_query it doesn´t work if i insert a
String.

mysql_db_query("test_data","insert test (number) values (5)");

this works perfectly.

mysql_db_query("test_data","insert test (name) values (´somebody´)");

this doesn´t.

Thanks for the help.

Try this.

mysql_db_query("test_data","insert test (name) values (\"somebody\")");

Since you are inputing a string you may to use the escape \ so it sends over the "

Hope it works
