I receive an "Order insert failed" when I tried to insert any text that contains an apostrophe or quote. For instance: "I don't care" throws an error because of the "don't". I solved this problem by using a regex to replace all occurences of ' with _, except now I have users who need the _ for web addreses.
I may be out of the loop, but is there an easier way to go about this than:
if($checked_feedback =~ m/[']/g) { $checked_feedback =~ tr/'/_/; } $statement = "INSERT INTO Posts(subject,id,heading,body,date,time,appr +oved) VALUES ('$subject','$ids','$post_title','$checked_feedback',CUR +DATE(),CURTIME(),1)"; $insert = $db->prepare($statement) or die "Couldn't prepare the query: +", $rv = $insert->execute or die "Order insert failed: ", $insert-> +finish();
