Ok... take this query for example.. (as found in the dialup.conf sql page) group_membership_query = "SELECT groupname \ FROM ${usergroup_table} \ WHERE username = BINARY '%{SQL-User-Name}' \ ORDER BY priority" Before I go ahead and try it, I am just curious, would changing the ' ' to " " make any difference? group_membership_query = 'SELECT groupname \ FROM ${usergroup_table} \ WHERE username = BINARY "%{SQL-User-Name}" \ ORDER BY priority' So rather than have it wrapped in " ", it is now wrapped in ' ' and the variables are in ' ' rather than " "? I know in PHP that the "" and '' have 2 different meanings, but I am not sure in here, if they have special meanings or not. This isn't the query I have in question, but it's a much smaller query, and easy to see what I am referring too :) Thanks in advance! Steve Staples.
