[PHP] Escaping '#' Sign

[Mike Smith]

I have a string I'm returning from a database. Some entries have # signs 
 in the names ie (COMPANY #42, COMPANY #43...). When I display results 
all I have is COMPANY. Everything after the # is dropped off. I tried:

If ($cust) {
	$cust2=ereg_replace('#','no',$cust);
	//tried $cust2=ereg_replace(#,no,$cust); too
}

but that still returns the same thing (COMPANY).

Also tried:

$cust2 = preg_replace ('(pound|#163);'i, chr(163), $cust);

Any help is appreciated.

Why don't you just try:

$cust2 = str_replace('#','#35;',$cust);

That should replace all instances of # with it's html entity equivalent.  If
that doesn¹t work then there is something else wrong with your script and
we'll need to see it all! :)

Re: [PHP] Escaping '#' Sign

[Tom Woody]

Have to be a bit more specific, cause I can't reproduce your
problem...  Do you have some code examples that show it clearer?

name for client is COMPANY #1 in DB

?php
 include dbconnect.inc; //sets up db connection

 $sel = mysql_query(select name from client 
 where clntid='1000', $connection);
 $result =  mysql_fetch_object($sel);
 $name = $result-name;
 echo This is the name: $namebr;
?

Output:

This is the name: COMPANY #1

A # sign is just another character in HTML, and all php is doing is
creating the html for you.  the # sign would only effect a difference in
PHP code within the ?php ?, which when you are doing a query that
doesn't happen.

 You forgot an opening bracket, and need to quote the regex, like

 print That's not a number!;


I think I'm missing something here but while the regex might be correct,
don't you think the print ... part is incorrect?

I mean, _negative_ numbers are numbers, no?

Wouldn't it be better just to use is_int() or is_numeric()?

[PHP] Escaping characters won't work

[Lars Espelid]

Hello,

I'm running Apache 1.3.26, PHP 4.0.5 and WinXPpro.

My problem is as follows:

Try to execute this code:
if (ereg[^0-9], $num))
print That's not a number!;

result: parsing error, expects ')' on the if-line.

Have also tried other expressions where I escape characters. They won't
work.

When I write:
echo HELLO \n;
echo WORLD;

I get: HELLO WORLD
(on one line!?)

Anyone know what's wrong? Do I need to install an extension?

Bottom of my httpd.conf:

   LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
   AddModule mod_php4.c
   AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
   AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Thanks,

Lars

This one does have a parse error

You need to tell the browser to create a newline when displaying HTML:
echo HELLObrWORLD
will look identical to
echo HELLObr\nWORLD

You can also use the nl2br() function to convert all newlines to a line break:
echo nl2br(HELLO\nWORLD);

If you display preformatted text you'll see the linebreak:
echo preHELLO\nWORLD/pre;

[PHP] Escaping escaped chars

[Gerard Samuel]

Im trying to move some binary strings from mysql to postgresql,
and the binary strings has escape chars '\' in them.
I was told to double escape them like so - '\\\'
Here is what Im trying -

$data = '\0PZ\0Îê˜Úµ';  // This is a representation from an mysql dump
$data2 = str_replace('/\', '/\/\/\', $data);

Im getting -
Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1
I guess my str_replace() isn't correct.

Am I going about the right way to double escape them.
Thanks.

Re: [PHP] Escaping escaped chars

[Michael Sweeney]

Just escape the \ with a single escape character. eg. your string
'\0PZ\0Îê˜Úµ' would end up as '\\0PZ\\0Îê˜Úµ' - each \ simply
escapes the backslash following it. If you add two backslashes, you end
up with one too many which is what the error is referring to.

Re: [PHP] Escaping escaped chars

[Gerard Samuel]

One of the guys over on the php-db list told me that to store the binary 
string correctly in postrgresql, that I would
have to double quote whats already there.
So in essence, by the time it hits the database, it has to be -
\\\0PZ\\\0Îê˜Úµ

Any suggestions to modify the string like this...
Maybe I should be looking into one of the preg functions

Thank You.

[PHP] escaping quotes in forms and redisplaying variables in form fields

[John Hughes]

I'm stumbling over how to allow people to put single or double quotes
in a form text field. 

I am passing the form to itself ($PHP_SELF) and on the second time
through previewing what the form data will look like and also
re-creating the form with the data already filled in.

Here's an example of one text field:

$display_line .=input type='text' name='signature'
value='$noslash_signature' size='35' maxlength='100';

(I have stripslashes() the $signature variable to create
$noslash_signature.)

If someone signs their name O'Brien, the preview shows O'Brien, but
all that shows in the form field is O. However, Joe Bruiser Jones
displays correctly in preview and the form.

If I change the code like this (adding the \ around the variable): 

$display_line .=input type='text' name='signature'
value=\$noslash_signature\ size='35' maxlength='100';

O'Brien will display OK, but Joe Bruiser Jones shows just Joe in
the form field.

One solution is to change the text form to textarea, but I'd prefer
to be able to redisplay at text form field if possible.

TIA,
John Hughes

Re: [PHP] escaping quotes in forms and redisplaying variables in form fields

[1LT John W. Holmes]

Yeah, you have to convert the single and double quotes to html entities so
they are not mistaken for the end of the string.

If you look at your source code, you'll see why it's happening.

value = 'O'Bryan'
value = Joe Bruiser Smith

You can see how the 'O' is taken as the string, and the rest is ignored.
Same for the double quotes.

[PHP] escaping PHP's closing tags

[Erik Price]

Hi -- I'm trying to use a string of XML data which includes the use of 
the ?xml ? tags.  I've noticed that my editor (BBEdit) shows that \? 
will escape the tag so that PHP does not treat it as a true close the 
PHP code tag, but was hoping that someone here could give me an 
official ruling.

There is no reference to escaping the ? tag on the man page (currently) 
that I could find, or in the annotations.

[PHP] Escaping Quotes in a String and Ending With A Quote

Well, this is a fairly simple problem. I'm having problems with escaping a
string, and then ending the string right after the escape! For example,

I get a parse error on the line where the string is. Very simple problem, I

You're concatenating echo $PHP_SELF rather than just $PHP_SELF, which

echo 'form name=frmMovies method=post action=' . $PHP_SELF . '';

Subject: [PHP] escaping ?


I'm trying to do some string replaces on XML files to import them into a 
prprietary db that doesn't understand XML.

I need to strip the XML tags out of the file.

However, when I use this line:

$contents = str_replace('?xml version=1.0?', '', $contents);

The ? in the string ends my php block.


I know there's an easy answer to this, and I'm probably just suffering 
from Friday afternoon burnout, but can someone let me know how to escape 
those so that I can search for them in the string?

thanks,

Steven

[PHP] Escaping a double-quote problem

[Anton Kolev]

Any idea why when I print the value of $text, I get a backslash in front of
the result?

$text=preg_replace(/\/, quot;, $text);
$text=preg_replace(/\/, A, $text);
$text=str_replace(\, A, $text);

Contrary:

$text=preg_replace(//, amp;, $text);

works quite well.

Try htmlspecialchars() instead of addslashes();

$tmp=abcdefg;
echo htmlspecialchars($tmp);

Why you put HTML like this inside PHP code tag? If you need HTML.

Try this

?php
if ($var === TURE) {
?
h1 $var is true /h1
?php
}
else {
?
h1 $var is false /h1
?php
}
?

No and Yes.

NO: You don't have to escape PHP special characters in HTML.
YES: You need to escape PHP special characters in string. (Generally speaking)

You cannot write HTML like this in PHP code.
You can write HTML in conditional statement as my previous post.
You also could write it as follows

$html =EOH
table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
align="center"
   tr bgcolor="#ebebd6"

 
EOH;
print $html;


Heredoc does not require to escape ", ',newline,etc even if it is similar to
string with " or '.

[PHP] Escaping Characters - URL Encoding.

[Sterling]

H-

I've been able to escape the 'space' character in a variable so it can
be safely passed through a URL but I'm having trouble finding anything
that works for escaping the '' ampsand. 

Here is a snippet of code. 

$topic = Aerospace  Commercial Space;

$link_value = str_replace(, '%26', $topic);
$link_value = str_replace(' ', '%20', $topic);


Here's the strange part. 
If the ampersand replace is in front of the space replace the space
replace gets done but the ampersand doesn't. 

If the ampersand replace is done after the space replace the
ampersand get's replaced but the spaces do not. 

So for the code above the %20 was replaced but the  remained .

I split the lines up for simplicity. Is that's what's causing the
problems? 
What am I missing here? 
Very confusing. 
Thanks for any info any one might have on this. 

Thoughts, Comments, Anecdotes?

This should be
$link_value = str_replace(, '%26', $topic);
$link_value = str_replace(' ', '%20', $link_value);

Anyway, this is this wrong way to go about it.
This line
$link_value = rawurlencode($topic);
will do the whole job.

php.net/urlencode

as for your code:

 $topic = Aerospace  Commercial Space;

 $link_value = str_replace(, '%26', $topic);
 $link_value = str_replace(' ', '%20', $topic);

You are using $topic both times.  Your second line should be:

  $link_value = str_replace(' ', '%20', $link_value);

[PHP] Escaping double quotes?

How do you escape double quotes?  I have the following which is 
supposed to make any " in a string into \" but it doesn't seem to 
work.  What's wrong with it?

$tmp_string = str_replace ("\"", "\\\"", $tmp_string);
