HI John,

I have this working with the exception of when there is a ' in an email address that I want to remove.

I have modified your line { $email_list .= "'{$row['email']}',"; }, with { $email_list .= str_replace("'", "\'", "'{$r[email]}',"); }, but now it escapes all the single quotes. Is there a php function that escapes single quotes in Mysql queries? If not, do you know the best way to escape *only* single quotes in the email address string and not the single quotes surrounding the string?

Example (output of $email_list) '[EMAIL PROTECTED]','[EMAIL PROTECTED]'that.com','etc...
Need to escape the [EMAIL PROTECTED]'that.com


Thanks.

Mysql 3.23.54.

My first thought was to load the output from the tables into an array
and they use a foreach and in_array to create a list of dups, but I
wanted to see if there was an easier way.

Ah, in that case, my other query won't work. :)


This should:

<?php
$query = "SELECT list1.email FROM master_list, list1 WHERE master_list.email
= list1.email";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
while($r = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{ $email_list .= "'{$row['email']}',"; }
$email_list = substr($email_list,0,-1); //remove last comma


$query = "DELETE FROM list1 WHERE email IN ($email_list)";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
?>

Repeat for other tables.
