use " to display the data in the input-text element and undo this
before inserting it into the database
function quoteToHtml ( $string ) {
return str_replace( '"' , '"' , $string );
}
function htmlToQuote ( $string ) {
return str_replace( '"' , '"' , $string );
}
Only way to go :-)

I'm using data that goes from the HTML textbox to PHP to MYSQL to PHP to HTML textbox. The only trouble I have is to escape the apostrophe character when it is put into the HTML textbox by PHP (from MySQL). --snip-- echo "<input type='textbox' value='".$value."'>"; --snip-- I can't use the HTML feature like " or something because the """ would show up in the database... Any suggestion or advice? Thanks, Scott F.
