Hi,
Has anyone out there using PHP and Oracle come across this problem? I have
a text area that allows free-form text that I store in a varchar2 column. I
have problems with apostrophes in the free-form text. When users put in an
apostrophe the SQL fails. If I force 3 apostrophes (the usual Oracle method
of embedding apostrophes) the SQL fails. The only way to get round the
problem is to strip them out (which I consider a work-around not a fix).
Can anyone help?
