Hi,

My company is starting a new subscription service and I'm in charge of the data collection. Trouble is, since these will be SMS messages, the have to be within the limit of 160 characters.

So, I can do it manually(get the message and run it through our company's web based SMS management system character-number checker) which is handy except that I have over 300 lines of messages and I can only check one at a time...

Hi,

I'm learing perl and I've just come up with the following statement from a some script:
$content = $dbh->quote($content);

I've read through Blair Ireland's tutorial on perl MySQL functions for the meaning of this quote string function but I'm still not getting it.


Would someone please explain to me in simple language, exactly what the quote() does??
