Hi I've the following problem: I'd like to have in my "root" folder some general SQL (mysql) methods so that I can call them from the subfolders. I insert here 2 examples of what I'd like to do. 1- Creating a general INSERT query. I tried to create a query resembling the following: INSERT INTO <!--#var table_name--> (<!--#var field_name-->) values (<!--#sqlvar field_value type=<!--#var field_type--> -->) where field table_name, field_name, field_value and field_type are arguments for the methon. Naturally this doesn't work. Is there any way to do something like this ? 2- creating a general SELECT query. I'd like to parametrize the name and the number of the fields shown by a SELECT mysql query. Something like SELECT <variable_number_of_fields_of_variable_names> from <!--#var table_name--> where table_name is an argument for the method. I've no ideas about how to implement the variable_number_of_fields_of_variable_names. Is there anyone who can help me (eventually source code examples or links to them will be welcome). Thank you in advance. Marco Guidi e-mail: guidi@sssup.it
