Thing is its the browser parsing the variables in the form and exiting on
the second ' or ".
It would be the ' or " that would probably have to be replaced with "
or ´
I can't remember what the one for ' is !

Try:
<?php
$var = "This is 'a' test";
echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"name\"
value=\"$var\">\n";
?>
