hh1=CREATEOBJECT("ADODB.Connection")
hh1.Open("Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;Data Source=d:\newweb\inst\;Exclusive=NO;BackGroundFetch=NO;NULL=NO;Collate=MACHINE")
hh1.Execute(hh)

this code is working,

but in php

now im writing this code in php

<?php

$conn = new COM("ADODB.Connection") ;
$jj="Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;Data Source=d:\newweb\inst\;Exclusive=NO;BackGroundFetch=NO;NULL=NO;Collate=MACHINE";
$conn->Open("Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;Data Source=d:\newweb\inst\;Exclusive=NO;BackGroundFetch=NO;NULL=NO;Collate=MACHINE");
$dd="INSERT INTO instadb.db(pic_nm,user_pic,hashtag,usernm) values('abc','dd','eee','fff')";
$conn->Execute($dd);
$conn->Close();

Wrap the connection string in single quotes:

$jj='Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;Data Source=d:\newweb\inst\;Exclusive=NO;BackGroundFetch=NO;NULL=NO;Collate=MACHINE';

While it is wrapped in double quotes

d:\newweb\inst\

becomes

d:
ewweb\inst\

…because PHP converts the \n to a new line.
