Vs: addslashes ()

Hi there, I think the easiest way is just do it like this: $a = "\'senthil\'"; // Now $a is 'senthil' $a = "\"senthil\""; // Now $a is "senthil" You should just add a \ -character before the special character. (For your information: this action is called "escaping"). Ask more if you haven't understood or you have more problems in your mind. - Ville .............................................
