Hello... Im having some problems with adding info to mySQL database.. Here is the code that inputs the information to the database: 


$dbh = BaboonDB->connect();

   $sth = $dbh->prepare('INSERT INTO anuncios (usuario,titulo,mensaje,
+categoria,estado,pais,imagen,image_align,expiracion,firma) VALUES(?,?
+,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)') or die("Couldn't prepare statement: " . $dbh->err
+str);

   $sth->execute($user,$title,$msg,$cat,$state,$country,$img,'left',$e
+xpiration,$name) or die("Couldn't execute statement: " . $sth->errstr
+);

$dbh->disconnect;

[download]

The problem resides in the variable $msg that has this value: tengo todo por aprender ¿quien quiere  enseñarme?

The problem I figured out is the ? that conflicts with the prepare statement.

I tried to escape it with something likes this: $msg = $dbh->quote($msg);

But without success...can anyone tell me how can I safely escape the ?

By the way...Im using the DBD::mySQL module...

Thanks
