how escape quotes when inserting into database in PHP
- by Mauro74
Hi all,
I'm quite new to PHP so sorry if sounds such an easy problem... :)
I'm having an error message when inserting content which contains quotes into my db.
here's what I tried trying to escape the quotes but didn't work:
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","xxxx","xxxxx");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("test", $con);
$nowdate = date('d-m-Y')
$title = sprintf($_POST[title], mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[title]));
$body = sprintf($_POST[body], mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[body]));
$sql="INSERT INTO articles (title, body, date) VALUES ('$title','$body','$nowdate'),";
if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))
{
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
header('Location: index.php');
Could you provide any solution please?
Thanks in advance.
Mauro
