raman Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I have a table in mysql database which I had initially written as an excel file and then imported into mysql command by saving it as a csv file and then using load data local ...command. Now I want to add a new field to the database but the problem is that the information extends into multple lines.I exemplify below: AAAAAFFFGGVVVVVVVVV 23 34 45 67 CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCNNNNNVVVV 56 76 23 90 SSSSSSSSSS 45 34 65 43 Against the total 1775 entries in the table around 1000 entries would have this type of information. Is there any way to store this type of information ?Also the number of lines is not fixed for every entry ,it varies with every entry.

rhodesa Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 you should use mysql_real_escape_string() on all your values before putting into the SQL Query. it will escape the data properly Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/135167-multi-line-infomation-in-mysql-field/#findComment-703984 Share on other sites More sharing options...
