Fine, fine... ksh, zsh, ash, even fish (which IS a shell) for all I
care... ;)
As to your problem, you need to get the escaping of your titles in sync
before doing this. Coming from the db, the appostrophes are going to be
escaped as "\'" and in the page source, it looks like the ones in the
option tags are \'.
It looks to me like you "HTML-ize" the escaping of $ht AFTER you make
the comparision, while $pTitle. having been posted from the previous
pass, would already have the HTML quote entity.
Did that make any sense?
Cheers,

On a different note... I have some php code that is giving me fits. The
site resides at http://www.ehymns.org/?page=mens&title=Mens
<http://www.ehymns.org/?page=mens&title=Mens> and it provides
(sometimes) hymn arrangements for users. The problem I am having is the
filenames for the pdfs that are displayed sometimes contain apostrophes
and this does not allow the page to work properly. The affected code
follows:
[code]
<form method="post" name="hymns">
<?php
echo "\n<input type='hidden' name='Book' value='" . $_POST['Book'] .
"'>";
echo "\n<input type='hidden' name='type' value='" . $_POST['type'] .
"'>\n";
$pBook = $_POST['Book'];
$pType = $_POST['type'];
if(isset($_POST['title'])) {
$pTitle = $_POST['title'];
} else {
$pTitle = $_GET['title'];
}
$allowMP3 = $_POST['allowMP3'];
$sql = "select mens.Id, HymnTitle, hymntype.type AS HymnType from
mens inner join hymntype on mens.type = hymntype.Id";
if($pBook == "All" || $pBook == "")
{
if($pType != "")
{
$sql .= " where Type = '" . $pType . "'";
}
}
else
{
$sql .= " where " . $pBook . " = '1'";
if($pType != "")
{
$sql .= " and Type = '" . $pType . "'";
}
}
$sql .= " order by HymnTitle;";
$pArray = $db->doSQL($sql);
$mens_res = $pArray{0};
$mens_count = $pArray{1};
?>
<p align="center">
<table align="center">
<tr>
<td align="right" width="50%"><strong>Select Hymn Title
here: </strong></td>
<td align="left" width="50%"><select name='title'
onchange='submitHymn()'>
<option selected> Select Hymn here ... </option><?php
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($mens_res)) {
$ht = $row['HymnTitle'];
*if(addslashes($ht) == addslashes($pTitle)) //
This test fails on titles with apostrophes.*
{
echo "\n <option value='" .
htmlspecialchars($ht, ENT_QUOTES) . "' selected>" . $ht . "</option>";
$hnum = $row['Id'];
$hnam = $ht;
$type = $row['HymnType'];
}
else
{
echo "\n <option value='" .
htmlspecialchars($ht, ENT_QUOTES) . "'>" . $ht . "</option>";
}
}
?>
</select><?php // echo '*' . $hnam . '*' . $pTitle. '*' .
htmlspecialchars($ht, ENT_QUOTES) . '*' . htmlspecialchars($pTitle,
ENT_QUOTES); ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right" width="50%"><strong>Allow MP3s (if
available): </strong></td>
<td align="left" width="50%">
<input type="checkbox" name="allowMP3" <?php if($allowMP3 ==
'on') echo "checked" ?>></td>
// more code here...
[/code]
TIA,

I don't believe Vern was being exclusive in citing BASH, so much as
pointing at the most visible example of a shell.
I'd be interested to see what the Korn SHell has to offer, myself.
