PHP Syntax Question

[ah]

On Sun, 17 May 2009 22:38:59 +0200, Thomas Mlynarczyk

$username = 'Onideus Mad Hatter';

"SELECT `name` FROM `user_data` WHERE `name` = '$username'"

... becomes
"SELECT `name` FROM `user_data` WHERE `name` = 'Onideus Mad Hatter'"

"SELECT name FROM user_data WHERE name = $username"

... becomes
"SELECT name FROM user_data WHERE name = Onideus Mad Hatter"
And that's just wrong in SQL. Leaving out the backticks is okay here,
but strings must be quoted. If you saw it like this in a tutorial, then
the tutorial is wrong.

I've seen it "wrong" like that on quite literarily DOZENS of different
online tutorials...hence my question.
I'm wondering if maybe if it's from some intermediary program, like a
sort of FrontPage for PHP that allows such syntax which is then
"corrected" on output.

I'm wondering if maybe it's merely from being a clueless-fuckwit.

If you're not apart of the solution, you're apart of the problem.
Please correct yourself in the future so as not to pester any of the
adults with your infantile name calling, child.
