note 46308 deleted from function.addslashes by tomsommer

Note Submitter: chad at onebearcat dot com ---- Another solution to Mark's problem below is to use the built in htmlentities(...) function that converts HTML special chars to their HTML entity codes (ie., " to &quot). This way you are also avoiding any other problems you may run into in the future with say single quotes or ampersands - both of which are converted to their HTML codes with this function. $str = "This is a \"test\" string."; htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES); echo $str; //This is a "test" string
