Thread: parsing html in pgsql using php

parsing html in pgsql using php

From

Subject ... how to?

here is an example:

<?php


$tmp = "

<table width='175' cellSpacing='0' cellPadding='0' border='0' align='right'><tr>
 <td align='center' vAlign='middle' style=\"border: 1px solid black; background-color: #f0f0f0;\">
  Sample text in table.
 </td>
</tr></table>

";

pg_connect("host=localhost dbname=daatabase user=web_user password=password");

pg_query("insert into site_common values ('01','00','".$tmp."')");


?>


Here is an error:


Warning: pg_query() query failed: ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "175" in /w/devel/test/dbinsert.php on line 80


Any ideas?

You need to escape your apostrophes.  Your query statment uses
apostrophes and you have them in the string that your inserting into the db.

I believe you can use addslashes() and stripslashes() to help you with this.

A good way to debug these is to put the complete query into a variable
called $strSQL and then echo it to the browser.  Then, examine the
string to see whether the quotes pair up and that characters are escaped
properly.

$strSQL = "insert into site_common values ('01','00','".$tmp."')";
echo $strSQL;
exit;  //remove this line when you think it will work
pg_query($strSQL);

Another way to do this is with a "here doc" block:
$sample = <<< HERE
quote marks in here don't need to be escaped.
it will look just like plain html code.
also good for queries
HERE;
print ("$sample");
