RE: [PHP-WIN] Inserting symbols into a mysql database from PHP

Ross, A better way to validate your form is to use javascript on the client side, once the form is validated (using the clients computer power) you can then send the data to a php script via get or post, and have it processed further.

How can I allow quote marks to be inserted into the database? ie if someone puts a " mark in the form field then php/mysql recognises that as the end of the data I'm trying to insert. I tried urlencode-ing the data before inserting it and urldecode-ing it when reading it, but it didn't help. Any suggestions? Surely this must be possible?
