Re: Problem with special characters

Check out the rows in your database to see their actual content. It seems your problem was on insert or before. Use phpmyadmin, it is free and great for beginners as well of advanced users. Also, it might be faster and easier for you to write your variables in thecode this way where you can: echo ("<td width='50%'><input type='text' name='name$rownum' > size='46' value='" . $queryRow[name] . '></td>"); use single quotes so you don't have to escape and just type the variable within your double quotes when possible. But this doesn't affect the output so it won't help solving your problem. > I have a mysql database that contains various data.
