Re: Grrr quotes

htmlentities is producing all these signs ... :) i'd not use them to store the data in the database, a addslashes should be enough use htmlentities after having extracted the data from the db again... >>I do this with code before into database: >>------------------------------------------------------------ $beschrijving = addslashes($beschrijving); >>this piece of code is in the form (the <br> will be pulled out first) >>-------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ------------------- <? $beschrijving = htmlentities(stripslashes($beschrijving)); <textarea name="beschrijving" rows="10" cols="50"><? echo $beschrijving ?></textarea> and if you want to get rid of the newline characters: >>I do this with code before into database: >>------------------------------------------------------------ $beschrijving = addslashes(str_replace("\n", "", $beschrijving)); anyone tell me in case i'm wrong *gg* :) Tomy Wagner ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marij Bellen" <Marij.Bellen@centric.nl> To: "Php-Db@Lists.
