Re: Problem displaying a mysql database field

Hi, I have a varchar field in a MySQL database that contains a line of text like so: "This is a line if text" The double quotes are included in the database field. I cannot seem to display it on my HTML page, it always shows as blank. I have tried using both the stripslashes() and the html_entity_decode() but it still shows as blank. How can I display this please???

If you're putting this into a <input type="text"> type box you need to encode it not decode it. htmlspecialchars or htmlentities will do it for you. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
