Re: Passing form values with quotes, to itself

before you submit to the db, you have to escape the quotes like this: $Body = addslashes($Body); all " " will show up as \" \" and ' ' will be \' \' when you pull the info from the db, you'll have to use "stripslashes()" to remove those you put in. $Body = stripslashes($Body_from_db); ----- Original Message ----- From: "Faye Keesic" <fkeesic@fortfrances.com> To: <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 1:02 PM Subject: [PHP-DB] Passing form values with quotes, to itself > Hi there. > > I have a form that contains several fields w/ text info (which may or may > not contain single and double quotes). > > When the user clicks Preview, the form's action is set to call itself > ($PHP_SELF), and the info is displayed nicely so they can read it over, and > verify it before saving to the db. > > What I'm having problems with is that when the data has quotes, the text > data cuts off. > > If I use: <input type="text" name="Body" value=" <?php echo > $Body; ?>"> > then double quotes are cut off. > > If I use: <input type="text" name="Body" value=' <?php echo > $Body; ?>'> > then single quotes are cut off. > > I want nothing cut off!
