Re: How do I get a ' in my sql statement?

Terry, Thanks for the tip on the nl2br function. That function proved to be very helpful when displaying data in a HTML table. I noticed the \n is ok when sending text to a form with multiline input boxes. Thanks, Blaine >>> Terry Romine <eatrom@blazing-trails.com> 06/10/02 02:35PM >>> Any text field that has the possibility of getting quotes should be handled by $textfield = addslashes($textfield); prior to insert. Then on displaying, use $textfield = stripslashes($textfield); If it is a big text (including paragraphs) I use $textfield = nl2br(stripslashes($textfield)); On Monday, June 10, 2002, at 12:40 PM, Daniel Brunner wrote: > Hello!! > > Spit some code out...I put a lot of ' in my inserts... > > Is it from a form?!?!!? > > Is it from a Insert, or Select or Update?!? > > That's why we need some code... > > > Dan > > > On Monday, June 10, 2002, at 12:01 PM, DinsmoreB@michigan.gov wrote: > >> I have noticed that when I try to assign the value of a input field >> that has a ' in it for example : <can't > It will goof up my attempt >> to load the information to the database.
