Re: Escaping Characters in PHP

Katie, Using PHP-Nuke (and in a php store I can't show clips from) if I put the following code in <strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=index.php>Home</a><br> <strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=topics.php>Topics</a><br> <strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=sections.php>Sections</a><br> <strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=reviews.php>Reviews</a><br> <strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=friend.php>Recommend Us</a><br> <strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=user.php>Your Account</a><br> <strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=submit.php>Submit News</a><br> <strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=stats.php>Stats</a><br> <strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=top.php>Top 10</a><br> It works. the stock code however was <strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"index.php\">Home</a><br> <strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"topics.php\">Topics</a><br> <strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"sections.php\">Sections</a><br> <strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"reviews.php\">Reviews</a><br> <strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"friend.php\"Recommend Us</a><br> <strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"user.php\">Your Account</a><br> <strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"submit.php\">Submit News</a><br> <strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"stats.php\">Stats</a><br> <strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"top.php\">Top 10</a><br> Which is more inline with W3C standard html output. Through out the code the \ is used to escape single and double quotes. For contractions in titles etc. Consistantly it prints \" instead of " to the output. Did I set up something wrong?
