I have a datagrid, and when initializing my field variables, I need to
double up apostrophes so they are accepted into SQL dbase. In the line
below, i'm trying to do this with the Replace function, but i still
get an error when entering an apostrophe:
Dim sCompany As String = CType(e.Item.Fi ndControl("text box3"),
textbox).Text.R eplace("'", "''")

mister-Ed,
If you use parameters to supply variable data then you should not need to
worry about escaping apostrophes.
Parameters will also help guard agains SQL Injection attacks.

That could get you a NullReferenceEx ception, a TypeCastExcepti on, or any
others that the Framework might feel like throwing at you.
Dim sCompany As String = String.Empty
Dim tb as TextBox _
= DirectCast( e.Item.FindCont rol("textbox3") )
If Not ( tb Is Nothing ) Then
sCompany = tb.Text
End If
sSQL = "update ... "
& set ... = '" & sCompany.Replac e("'", "''") & "'"

// This statement below inserting one field works:
// mysql_query("INSERT INTO page (page_url) VALUES (\"$url_field\")");
But I wanted to insert into two fields so I was trying all sorts of
escaping. See below...there must be an easier way?! I also cite the
syntax error - Thanks very much.
mysql_query("INSERT INTO page (page_url, title) VALUES
( \"$url_insert . "\", "." \"$title_field "." "\")");

Sorry for the double question. I'm having a terrible time figuring out
how to escape apostrophes in my mySQL database. Perhaps they have to

To prevent future apostrophe bugs and errors, isn't it just simpler to
forbid an apostrophe from being entered into a text field? For example,
couldn't "Alice's Restaurant" be changed to "Alices Restaurant" etc.
automatically and programmatically during data entry? This would eliminate
my concatinated strings from producing errors when I base the string on a
query. Think this is an example of the "Dreaded Apostrophe Bug." If I

Hi everyone,
I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the purpose of escaping
nulls, and the use of addcslashes.
Firstly, the manual states that:
"Strictly speaking, MySQL requires only that backslash and the quote
character used to quote the string in the query be escaped. This
function quotes the other characters to make them easier to read in

I'm having trouble with page titles that include an apostrophe.
