Re: PHP Problem, Special String Character...please help

You can encode string before sending it out. Try htmlspecialchars($str, ENT_QUOTES).. before sending string --------------------- from PHP manual: The translations performed are: a.. '&' (ampersand) becomes '&amp;' b.. '"' (double quote) becomes '&quot;' when ENT_NOQUOTES is not set. c.. ''' (single quote) becomes '&#039;' only when ENT_QUOTES is set. d.. '<' (less than) becomes '&lt;' e.. '>' (greater than) becomes '&gt;' ------------- Hope this helps, Muhammed Mamedov tmchat.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ferry CS" <ferry21cs@hotmail.com> To: <pjln1@sunmaia.net>; <djpreach@hotmail.com>; <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 12:20 PM Subject: [PHP-DB] PHP Problem, Special String Character...please help > Hai... > > I have problem with manipulating the string... > How to send the string with special character > included to the other pages... > > For example the string "Father & Son", when I send into > other page the display become "Father" > Example special characters are &, +, <, >, etc > > > How to fix it??? > Thanks very much for your kind attention > > Best Regards, > Ferry > > > PHP sample > > file 1 : string_test.php > > <html> > <? > $title="Father & Son"; > echo "the real title : $title"; > ?> > > <br> > <p><a href="string_display.php?stitle=<? echo $title;?>">next > page</a></p> > > </html> > > > > > file 2 : string_display.php > > <html> > <? > echo "in this page<br>"; > echo "the title : $stitle"; > ?> > <p>Could you fix this problem??</p> > <P>the title should be "Father & Son"<p> > <p>the problem is using the special character ( &, +, ", <, >, > etc)</p> > <br> > <p><a href="string_test.php">back</a></p> > > </html> > > _________________________________________________________________ > Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
