Re: [PHP-DB] Replacing + with question
Jason, thank you for reply. I tried switching the 1st 2 parameters in the str_replace function so that it now looks like this: $AddressLine1 = urlencode($AddressLine1); $AddressLine1 = str_replace(+, , $AddressLine1); Unfortunately as I am now replacing the + symbols with a space only the part up to the first space is displayed back to the user. Any ideas?

From: Graeme McLaren [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jason, thank you for reply.

Any ideas? I think this whole problem can be solved by putting quotes around your HTML values. echo First Line Of Address: BR input type=\text\ Name=\AddressLine1\ value=\$AddressLine1\BRBR; Now, the ONLY thing you need to do to $AddressLine1 to make it safe to insert into this HTML form element is run htmlentities() on it. $safe_AddressLine1 = htmlentities($AddressLine1); echo First Line Of Address: BR input type=\text\ Name=\AddressLine1\ value=\$safe_AddressLine1\BRBR; I think the whole bit with + and spaces will go away if you do this. Remember that you may see this+that in the URL, but it's decoded automatically when it gets to your PHP script back to this that... ---John Holmes... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
