[TxMt] excluding match from language pattern

[Soryu]

Some time ago I introduced a SQL heredoc in PHP. Why not use this:

	…
	$query = <<<SQL
SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `foo` = {$bar};
SQL;
	…

It will color the SQL according to the SQL syntax and let PHP  
substitute the variables as specified here: http://www.php.net/manual/ 
en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.heredoc

I'd also advise using a function like this to quote/escape your SQL  
data:

	function quote_smart($value) {
		// Stripslashes
		if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
			$value = stripslashes($value);
		}
		// Quote if not numeric
		if (!is_numeric($value)) {
			$value = "'" . mysql_real_escape_string($value) . "'";
		}
		return $value;
	}
