PHP query
Hi
Hopefully a simple query from a PHP newbie. I am examining some code and find the following function call :
theme('gmap', array('#settings' => $settings));
I can't find what the # character does. This may be because my PHP book has nearly 100 pages. Alternatively it's because I'm having a dumb moment.
Any pointers ?
Thanks
Swampy

The pound symbol (#) has no significance in this case. It's just part of the string.

£ is pound symbol in uk, other countries call # the pound
The hash symbol (#) is used in hacking methods, trying to manipulate the query to inject.
using mysql_real_escape_string() resolves 99.99% of those types of hack.
