I have a Web application that has a textarea field where a user can type a message and then the message will be stored in the database. Here is the code for the insert:
insert into alerts (alrt, ncmp, suno, mess, prty, spst, dnst, crea, cdat) values ('$max_alert', '$company','$supplier', '$message', '$priority', '2', '2', '$userid', SYSDATE) This works fine unless there is a single quote in the message, which obviously is a big problem since I cannot restrict my users to not enter quotes into their text message. How can I avoid having this issue?
