jhale1966 Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 I was just wondering what the difference was between: $query = \"SELECT * FROM [tablename] WHERE [whatever]=[whatever]\"; $result = mysql_query($query); and $result = mysql_query(\"SELECT * FROM [tablename] WHERE [whatever]=[whatever]\"); Is it just better programming practice to split them up? I\'m still very new to this and would like to start off on the right foot. Thanks!

Arenium Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 i think it\'s easier debugging to split it, especially if you have a REALLY long query Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/661-do-you-have-to-split-mysql-querys-into-2-lines/#findComment-2192 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhale1966 Posted July 2, 2003 Author Share Posted July 2, 2003 Gotcha! So it\'s best that I go ahead and keep doing it for consistancy.
