RE: [PHP] Escaping Chars

If you insert, exactly, 123\"/' into a database, the value in the table, as returned by a query from the command line, will be 123"/' From the command line, to see what I mean, actually insert 123\"/' into a table and then select * from that table... Somehow it is getting escaped twice. Can you show your code that processes all of this? I've got a secret security clearance, if that matters. ;) > My current project is the first real app I have done for the Air Force in > PHP.

Entering data INTO a db adds a whole new set of challenges. It's great that they're actually using PHP. I had to do quite a bit of "educating" and convincing to get the Army to use PHP at my Post. ---John W. Holmes... PHP Architect - A monthly magazine for PHP Professionals.
