hi Jens, PHP automatically escape the dangerous characters from the user input on form submissions. there are several ways to escape that back : stripslashes() urlencode() htmlentities() read about these, they will soon become your solutions.

If an error occurs and the page reloads i simply echo the content of the fields back into the input fields, viola, wonderful. BUT if there are " eg. Quotes in those fields they suddenly read \" instead of " as they should 8( I guess that the parser is doing something to it there since " is a sensitive char in php. BUT how can i get the content to be reloaded correctly into the fields again. Here an example of how those fields look like <input type=text name=v_email value="<?php echo($v_email); ?>" size=40> tried it like this too, no difference: <input type=text name=v_email value="<?php echo("$v_email"); ?>" size=40> thx in advance, Jens Nedal -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
