Hey guys,

I used the following code to run normal double quotes inside my SQL queries. Hopefully this will save someone else a headache or two-

<?php

    /**
     * Query Function
     * Allows quoted queries to be sent to SQL
     */

    function query($query, $conn)
    {
        odbc_do($conn, 'SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF');
        return odbc_do($conn, $query);
    }
?>

To clear up: the SQL standard requires strings to be inside single quotes: 'string'.  It simply does not accept double quotes for this purpose.

Furthermore, in PHP, you can have a single quote inside double quotes: "select a from b where c = 'string'" without the need to escape.

i have use this function so many times. it works well for my requirements. ok well done...

<?php
         $sqlstr="SELECT bill_no FROM SCROL";
         $queryresult=odbc_do($conn,$sqlstr);
         odbc_fetch_row($queryresult,$bills);

        // if we want to access the records
        // then we have to write the following code
         
        echo $bills[0];
      
?>

the out put for this will:

 1 
which is actullay first record of resultset.
