[PHP] MS Word text pasted into forms

2001-12-20 Thread jimtronic


Occasionally, I have a problem dealing with some of the special 
characters from text authored in MS Word, and then pasted into a web 
form. It seems that somewhere something bad happens and what 
eventually gets put into mysql via php is not correct.

In particular, I have trouble with apostrophes and accented vowels.

Is the solution to disallow users (it's an admin, so this is 
realistic) from pasting from MS Word?

Jim,

Have you tried a regular expression. Something like 

ereg_replace([^[:alnum:]|[:space:]|[:punct:]@], , $string);

to clean the string?
