I was thinking about displaying the output directly to a browser for review. I imagine that what Ryan wants is to display the html exactly as it was gathered and thus displayed AS a web page.

No, I *WILL* have a check before inserting to the DB as a "just in case" solution but basicially this is just for the company's designers and if I can get their DWs to output single quotes instead of double. We have 3 designers, they will be putting in the entire "content table" (the table that contains all the content for that page) into the db by copying from DW then pasting the "raw code" into the text area that I am giving them...then I take that code and enter it into the DB.

Are you trying to use PHP to write the HTML onto a database. If this is the case you can simply use addslashes(). This way you can still preserve the double quotes, but write into the database without any problems. Either way some processing will be involved at some point.

Yes, I got into trouble with magic quotes recently too. Well I know that you can do the same thing with mysql_escape_string if you are using MySQL.

[PHP] Single quotes verses double quotes default behavior with DW --------> (Pretty much 0T )
Hi, I have searched for this answer on google and even written on a few forums asking for an answer, am just trying my luck here as I am sure quite a few list users use DreamWeaver. By default dreamweaver outputs tags like this: As you can see from the above the values are always enclosed in double quotes by default, how can i change the default to be single quotes? eg: I am tired of everytime copying it into notepad and then running a replace all before inserting it into the db. I am doing this as I am putting the entire content of a html page into the DB and the double quotes are screwing things up for me. I have thought of doing a str_replace() for the double quotes but thats extra processing which can be a headache if its a large page. Or if I am barking up the wrong tree and this is not possible (changing DWs default behavior, just tell me and will stop searching. Thanks!
