MySQL error when inserting data containing apostrophes (single quotes)

-

Apostrophe Delimiter

In the MySQL version of SQL, you signal the beginning and the end of a string with either single quotes or double quotes. Both of the following examples are valid:
  • INSERT INTO COMPANY_TABLE (company_name) VALUES ‘The Fish Shack’;


    INSERT INTO COMPANY_TABLE (company_name) VALUES “The Fish Shack”;

    The following example, however, creates an error:

    INSERT INTO COMPANY_TABLE (tag_line) VALUES ‘Eat at Joe’s -- It’s Good Food!’;

    SQL wants to interpret the string as "‘Eat at Joe’," with everything following the second apostrophe as erroneous. The following text does not fix the problem:

    INSERT INTO COMPANY_TABLE (tag_line) VALUES “Eat at Joe’s -- It’s Good Food!”;

    This would work if the text had only one apostrophe between the double quotes, but this text has two. Also, because some Web-page programming languages use double quotes themselves, you may wish to avoid using them in your SQL.

How can I debug PHP cURL sessions?

Setting CURLOPT_HEADER and CURLOPT_VERBOSE to 'true' are two of the most important ways to debug PHP cURL sessions.  Detailed Description PHP’s cURL library is widely used by PHP applications to communicate with the eBay API. However, debugging cURL sessions can be problematic.  Since many of eBay’s services require proper information in the HTTP headers, verifying correct header transfer is important. This can be done by setting the CURLOPT_HEADER to 'true'.  Setting CURLOPT_VERBOSE to 'true' will display two-way communication between the PHP application and the server.  You can also use curl_getinfo to get error messages.  Sample Code and Session for CURLOPT_VERBOSE <?php $headers = array ( 'X-EBAY-API-COMPATIBILITY-LEVEL: 507', 'X-EBAY-API-DEV-NAME: ABCD', 'X-EBAY-API-APP-NAME: EFGH', 'X-EBAY-API-CERT-NAME: IJKL', 'X-EBAY-API-SITEID: 0', ); $session = curl_init(); curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_URL, &

[PHP] Create MySQL Trigger in PHP

-
phpmysql Introduction When we want to execute a specific task at a scheduled time, MySQL provides special functionality called triggers. Triggers are basically named blocks of code that are executed, or fired, automatically when a specified type of SQL statement is executed.

Syntax CREATE TRIGGER trigger_Name {Before|After}{Insert|Update|Delete}ON table_name For  EACH  ROW sql_block For Example Using the following query, you can better understand what a trigger is and how to use a trigger to execute a specific task at a scheduled time.
