通过mysql发送斜杠

Question

I'm not sure why this has stumped me. I have the following code

$website = "http://www.google.com";
$name = "Person";

if(!empty($website) {
   $name = "[url=$website]$name[/url]"; 
}

Then i try to insert that into mysql. I tried adding mysql_real_escape_string to both $website and $name (after the if statement), thinking the "/url" might also cause problems.

$name       = mysql_real_escape_string($name); 

Still no luck though. Any advice? What am I missing? It's giving me this error

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '/', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING"

Answer 1

try

if(!empty($website)) {
   $name = "[url={$website}]{$name}[/url]"; 
}

then use,

mysql_real_escape_string ($name);
