Okay, I've done a lot of programming in C/C++, so using Pawn now is a bit baffling. I have a few questions in about how things can be done. At the moment I just can't figure out how to 'pass a string' as part of an array for the MySQL plugin I'm using.

Here's my mysql_query code, which is part of my registration system:

pawn Код:

case DIALOG_Register:
        {
            if(response)
            {
                if(isnull(inputtext))
                {
                    return SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOUR_Mistake, MSG_RegHelp);
                }
                if(strlen(inputtext)<3)
                {
                    return SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOUR_Mistake, MSG_ErrorReg1);
                }

                GetPlayerName(playerid, playerInfo[playerid][pName], MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
                new query[256];

                format(query, 40+MAX_PLAYER_NAME, "SELECT name FROM users WHERE name='%s' LIMIT 1", playerInfo[playerid][pName]);
                mysql_query(query, QUERY_checkUserNotExist, {playerid, inputtext});  // <<<
                return 1;
            }
            else
            {
                ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DIALOG_ChangeNick, 1, MSG_ChangeName, MSG_NewNickDialog, "Change", "Cancel");
            }
        }

1 Error.

I assume the problem is that inputtext is a string, so it obviously can't be passed in an array as such.

Does Pawn have support for pointers and if so, how are they made? If not, how should I pass the string?
