curious behaviour with array map 'callback' option
array_map problems

Hi all,
Maybe its me, but I thought I would ask if anyone has had trouble using mysql_real_escape_string as the callback option in array_map.
I have just found that when using it, the function tries to connect to my database - surely that's not right? And then erases the values in the elements of the given array. Comment out the line and hey-presto, data gets through!
Thoughts?
Cheers,
MRb

Have you taken into account what they say about this function:
If the link identifier is not specified, the last link opened by mysql_connect() is assumed. If no such link is found, it will try to create one as if mysql_connect() was called with no arguments.
? Did you pass the connection link id to the array_map callback function (mysql_real_escape_string)?

Hi there Alcoholico,
There is no connection function being called - hence the error, force of habit I guess, usually there is already an established connection going when I use this function, so I seldom reference one in the function when I call it normally.
I was reading the function description after I posted. Gah!
