Ooh Sry, brain fart.. :P
Try this..
function stringToMysqlFormat($original_input) {
//for inserting the data INTO mysql
$my_string =
html_entities(mysql_real_escape_string($original_input));
return $my_string;
}
function mysqlToHTMLFormat($encoded) {
//for echoing the data FROM mysql
$my_html = html_entity_decode(stripslashes($encoded));
return $my_html;
}
Not that it matters all the time, but I stay away from php variables
that are the same name as a code in any other lang. IE String or HTML.
Just forgot as I was writing last time. Damn auto-pilot. :)
HTH,
Best,
Karl
