Hello and thanks to all for the help on the magic quotes, etc.
It gives me a better handle on what I'm dealing with.
Except for one more thing.
When I bring back text from a field which contains a ', and try to apply it as
the value of an input box, it still truncates in the box.
When I simply print $text, it prints out correctly as *Don't do this* .
When I make $text the default value of an input box, it shows as *Don*.
If the slash is still in place, it reads *Don\'t* above the box and *Don\* in
the box.
My bugaboo continues.. :->
Thanks again for any further advice.
Floyd
