I am trying to replace multiple rows in an Access database to follow a new set of data rules. For instance, the word Fort in Fort Myers is listed as Ft., Ft and Fort. I would like to make a global change to the group. I am familiar with the SQL replace command, but wondering if anyone has done something similar with a stored procedure...
I know my SQL safety isn't up to par. I've read on this site that PHP PDO would be a good first step, and while I did take a look at the PDO Manual it's a bit daunting. Is there somewhere I can find a tutorial on the basics of using PDO rather then straight MySQL calls?

I basically need a function to check whether a string's characters (each character) is in an array.
My code isn't working so far, but here it is anyway :|
$allowedChars = array("a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z"," ","A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M",...
