Thanks a million! (nynccats) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE8M5QM1sf8
it was missing the global $database; row at the start.

And also thanks for the real escape, couldn't figure that out !

I'm creating a snippet Droplet that updates json string into mysql.
The problem is that json contains " -charachters
but i cant get it to either run trogh php or run trough sql, always mismatch of the ' charachters:

$save_string='[{"page_id": "'.$pid.'", "viewed": "'.$pvalue.'"}]';

$save_string=addslashes($save_string);

$sql='UPDATE '.TABLE_PREFIX.'users SET checked_content='.$save_string.' WHERE user_id='.$uid;
$results = $database->query( $sql );
$retval.= $results.$sql;  // <--  !! concate Boolean and String ???
$retval.= '<br>päivitetty';
-Fatal error: Call to a member function query() on a non-object in /var/www/verkkokurssi/modules/droplets/droplets.php(37) : eval()'d code on line 12

• "Call to a member function query() on a non-object" means that $database does not contain a valid database object.
  You can try to import the global one.
• the use of addslashes() with SQL statements is a bad solution.
  Use $database->escapeString($save_string); instead.

Ok, from this the following code should work properly.

<?php

global $database;
$sSaveString='[{"page_id": "'.$pid.'", "viewed": "'.$pvalue.'"}]';
$sql = 'UPDATE `'.TABLE_PREFIX.'users` '
     . 'SET `checked_content`=\''.$database->escapeString($sSaveString).'\' '
     - 'WHERE `user_id`='.(int)$uid;
$bRetval = $database->query($sql);

return '<br>'.($bRetval ? 'päivitetty' : 'virhe');

have a nice day,

So what does it take to get it in to the system?!!
Working sql made manually and run into sql console:

UPDATE wbakervk1_users SET checked_content='[{\"page_id\":\"1\",\"viewed\":\"1\"},{\"page_id\":\"2\",\"viewed\":\"0\"},{\"page_id\":\"13\",\"viewed\":0}]' WHERE user_id=1
