Hi I have a problem in that if a user inputs a string with ' in it the dynamically generated links will not work, as they read the ' as the end of the string (yeah?) I have read the manual regarding htmlspecialchars, stripcslashes, htmlentities, stristr and so on....but I find it all very confusing - which am I supposed to use? and are there other characters that could cause a similar thing? Any advice gratefully received. Cheers James
