Re: my bugaboo.

Hello and thanks to all for the help on the magic quotes, etc. It gives me a better handle on what I'm dealing with. Except for one more thing. When I bring back text from a field which contains a ', and try to apply it as the value of an input box, it still truncates in the box. When I simply print $text, it prints out correctly as *Don't do this* . When I make $text the default value of an input box, it shows as *Don*. If the slash is still in place, it reads *Don\'t* above the box and *Don\* in the box. My bugaboo continues.. :-> Thanks again for any further advice.
