Thanks, Vern, that took care of it! The site is now operational. If any of you know anyone interested in biography work particularly of songwriters/composers, you might point them in my direction as I do have some bio stuff up there, but always interested in more.

Thanks again,
Bud

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,
Vern

Yeah, I was just poking fun at Vern. lol, couldn't resist it (obviously) ;o)

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,
Bud

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.
