I made a script that posts data into a database but it has a problem whenever I enter a ' or a ". How do I bypass this problem?
If it is MySQL, use mysql_real_escape_string() [1]. If any other database, have a look in the PHP manual [2] for the relevant function, or as a last resort use addslashes(). Jasper [1] http://www.php.net/mysql_real_escape_string [2] http://www.php.net/docs.php
Where do I put the code in?
Example: $value = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['value']); $results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sometable WHERE field='$value'"); Jasper THANKS!! it works!!
