is $string honestly something that you are getting via a form submit?
if so, your system might have magic quotes enabled.
This would automatically escape quotes with the attempt to make the
values safer, and then you go and run your str_replace command and
remove the double quotes, you end up leaving the '\' that the system
automatically put in the value for you.
read up on magic quote gpc

Re: [PHP] php personal project
* Disclaimer: The following may sound condescending (I hope not) but you said you're a newbie so I'll try to start with the very basics. For your database tables questions you basically want the tables to represent real life things. For example, a player, a team, etc. So let's make a quick list of things you might want to store information about: Players (an NFL player) Teams (a NFL team) Coaches (a NFL coach) Fantasy Owners (one of your friends who has a fantasy team) Now that we have that list we have to decide what information we want to keep about each. For example a player will need a name, an age, a salary, possible other stuff that's unique to him alone. Same for teams, coaches and fantasy owners. Now that we have a little information about each we need to decide how to link everything together. In order to properly link things together (to keep each database record (or row) unique) we need to give each record a unique id. An auto-incremented integer serves perfecly. So we'll have player_id, team_id, coach_id, owner_id. Teams have many players but players only play on one team. In this case we have a one to many relationship between teams and players. In this case you want to store the team_id in the player table. The relationship between fantasy owners and players can be more complicated however. Depending on the rules you set up owners will surely have several players but players may be owned by several owners. Here we have a many to many relationship. In this case we need what's called a middle table, basically a table whose sole purpose is to link 2 other tables together. We'll call this table owners_players and it will only have 2 fields: owner_id and player_id. So when you want all players on an owner's team you select * from owners_players where owner_id = x and with each of those results you look up the player's information from his unique id (though it's easier to do a join but I don't want to get into table joins right now that's more complicated). I've shown the two more complicated types of relationship but there's still another: one to one. In this case you can put the id of the linked-to record of the other table in either table, it doesn't particularly matter, put it where you think it makes most sense. This should be enough to at least get you started collecting some data. On 9/21/07, Karl james [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Team, I am in need of some help. I would love to get some assistance on this.

Put this line at the top of the script that the form posts to...

That will display the contents of the $_POST array and you should be

By the sounds of it the posted values are actually in $_POST['Post

If the contents of a file were readable, I would definitely agree with you.
I'm not convinced that the ability to detect the filesize of a file that the
user selected would be exploitable, but it's a moot point as it doesn't work

Said another way: It seems that the server had to know the size of the file in order to know it exceeded MAX_FILE_SIZE. So how can my script find out the size? OK, not sure why anybody has pointed this out, but... A signed Javascript session is allowed to access the local file system through the browser. But an un-signed JS process/session is not. Now, the reason that PHP can't do anything about the file upload while in process, is that PHP doesn't know anything about the file upload until Apache/IIS/... hands off the uploaded file to PHP. Apache is actually the part receiving the uploaded file. Once it is completely uploaded, the web server passes the temporary file name to php and then php gets what information about it it can. Try trapping the error. You will probably want to try with a setting in the php.ini or a .htaccess file that will change your error_handler function to some custom function that you can then use to allow the script to continue running, but capture and pass off information to the rest of your scripts. Then see if in the $_FILES array you find a temp file name. before your script ends, you might be able to look at the stats of that temp file and gleam some of the information that you are wanting to know from it. Remember, when uploading a file, your scripts are only parsed before the upload actually starts. Once your upload completes, successfully, will it then execute your php scripts. From what research and testing that I have done, this is the way PHP handles uploads. This was on a Redhat/Apache/PHP4 setup. back about 6 years ago. Hope it is still accurate.
