Silly Question Sorted

Thanks for the one or two replies received folks. Found my answer and thought I'd post it in case anyone else was interested: echo "<input type=text name=myfield value=\"" . htmlspecialchars($value) . "\">"; as this is a bit of a pain in the butt to remember for every single string fill in field, I created a simple function: function inputvalue ($t) { return "\"" . htmlspecialchars($t) . "\""; } which can no be accessed: echo "<input type=text name=myfield value=" . inputvalue($value) . ">"; Any fields with this in will now be able to display both apostrophes and double quotes correctly when editing a value already in the field. Thanks again folks, Gareth.
