I have an insert:
$sql = 'INSERT into orders SET 
fax_int_prefix = "'.$_SESSION['fax_int_prefix'].'", 
fax_prefix = "'.$_SESSION['fax_prefix'].'", 
fax_first = "'.$_SESSION['fax_first'].'", 
fax_last = "'.$_SESSION['fax_last'];
The value of all of these fields is that they are blank right before the insert. Here is an example of one of them I echo'd out just before the insert:
$_SESSION[fax_prefix] =
For some reason it inserts the integer 0, instead of a blank value or null, as it should. Why is it inserting 0's instead of blank spaces into my DB?
