Re: Dealing with Quotation marks

Hi Gary, one way to get around this is by using two php functions, addslashes() and sripslashes(). example: form values: $name = "O'Neil"; $name = addslashes($name); echo $name; Output would be: O\'Neil For values coming out of db: $address = "One Hundred Rancher\'s Way"; $address = stripslashes($address); echo $address; Output would be:One Hundred Rancher's Way Use addslashes() upon db insertion and stripslashes() 'on the way out'. hth Joe :) Gary <gcooke@radionics.com> wrote in message news:20020208163325.18997.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > Does anyone know how to deal with this problem?
