[PHP] Help with escaping the # sign
I have a text input field in my form. I need the user to be able to enter something like: Hello, I need # help. After which they click on a submit button. The succeeding page then takes this text and tries to display it and tries to store Hello, I need # help in a varchar field in a mysql table column. The mysql database is truncating the # sign and the text succeeding the # sign. Also, absolutly no text is being diplayed on the succeeding web page. I've tried using addslashes() and I was warned against using htmlentities(). Also, I'm not sure if I'm dealing with 2 issues: A mysql issue and a html issue. Or, am I dealing with one issue: A mysql issue or an HTML issue. Thank you, John __ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?

Is their any way to somehow escape the # sign. Thank you, John __ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?

Re: [PHP] Is there no one who can help me out there.
Thank you. This has been the biggest help so far. But, if it's a user entered string is their anyway to do this without having to parse the string and looking for the # sign and then reconstructing the string. That would be very difficult to do. I would appreciate any comments you might have. Thanks again John --- Rebecca Donley [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: John, I had a similar problem when passing # from one page to another as an html anchor. What worked for me was separating the # in quotes as follows: echo ?id= . $row[0] . # . strtolower($row[1]) . ''; When I did this I had no problem passing the entire string without the end being interpreted as a comment.

[PHP] Thank you Rebecca
Excellent idea Rebecca. I guess I'll have to resort to this because no one else out there seems to have ever had this problem. You've been a big help. Thank you for your ideas. John --- Rebecca Donley [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What about writing a function to change all the # characters to something else (maybe something you would never see in the input) and then another to change them back again before entry into your db? I'm pretty new to PHP so I'm not sure what string functions are available but in ASP you could just use a replace function.
