[PHP-DB] Re: escaping line brakes
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] says... Hi there, I am putting text into a mysql db from a form field. I do include the linebrakes with line2br. Now I would like to create an interface where I could load the text into the form again to edit it. Unfortunatelly it includes some wired chars like \br into the text. How can I get rid of that? Thanx for any help, Andy It sounds like you are using nl2br to all breaks _before_ you insert your data into a table. Don't do this, for this very reason. Only use nl2br _after_ you extract the data to format it for display in a browser; you don't need to use nl2br to display the data in a TEXTAREA of course. -- David Robley Temporary Kiwi!

Some of the customer names have an ampersand in them (ie; X X Supply). I am performing a select statement on this table to create a sales summary with customer name and total sales. This works fine; however, I am also creating a dynamic link on the customer name so that the user can click on it to get a detailed report of sales to that customer. This works great EXCEPT for the customers with ampersands in thier names. The result of clicking on these customers indicates a No Records found for X where X is the letter immediately preceding the ampersand. Does anyone know how to get around this? Would it be practical to link off a unique record_id instead of the noun-name? That way you can assure that the data you're passing doesn't have any URL-unfriendly characters, and you guarantee that the data you're retrieving is the unique data you're linking from.
