Re: About submitting multipart.forms

Microsoft, in it's infinite wisdom, has decided that things like: &copy; don't really need the semi-colon to be HTML Character Entity thingies, and &copy is just as good. (Try it!) Thus, if you don't use htmlentities to turn "&regulation require" into "&amp;regulations require", then MS has foolishly decided that "&reg" *must* be the HTML Entity &reg;, and you're just forgetting the ; You should be using htmlentities anyway, but it's quite annoying when dumping data to the browser that MS does such stupid things with it. Sigh. Anyway, moral of the story: *ANY* time you are sending strings out to the browser as data, use <?php echo htmlentities($data);?> on the data part. EG: <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=data VALUE="<?=htmlentities($data);?>"> -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
