I wasn't angry and didn't mean to come off that way. Text man, emotions just don't come through... unless you use emoticons... which I never do. But anyway I think we might just view tutorials differently. To me, what's posted above is an outdated, insecure way to put data into a database but it definitely answers the question "how do I put stuff in a databse" simply and right to the point. And that's what I like about PHP tutorials. I'd rather put the onus on the programmer to learn how to put "way to do X' and "way to do Y" together on their own rather than muddy the waters with "here's how to do X but this is important too so let's show you how to do this other thing at the same time".
