Hi everyone,

I have a question about spaces in directory names.
If I want to use mkdir something, everything works out, but in this case:

Code:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
#
use warnings;

$homedir = "C:/SCRIPT/CJ0249A.1/\"Project Information\"";
$file = "$homedir/exist.txt";

if (-e "$file")
{
        print ("it exists");

...

Hi all. I picked up the following code example from the php manual:

Code:

$link = mysql_connect('mysql_host', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password')
    OR die(mysql_error());

// Query
$query = sprintf("SELECT * FROM users WHERE user='%s' AND password='%s'",
            mysql_real_escape_string($user),
            mysql_real_escape_string($password));

My question is, shouldn't we be escaping...
