You probably aren't using http://php.net/htmlentities as you pass data back out to the browser. Microsoft, in it's infinite wisdom, has decided that things like: © don't really need the semi-colon to be HTML Character Entity thingies, and © is just as good. (Try it!) Thus, if you don't use htmlentities to turn "®ulation require" into "&regulations require", then MS has foolishly decided that "®" *must* be the HTML Entity ®, and you're just forgetting the ; You should be using htmlentities anyway, but it's quite annoying when dumping data to the browser that MS does such stupid things with it. Sigh. Anyway, moral of the story: *ANY* time you are sending strings out to the browser as data, use <?php echo htmlentities($data);?> on the data part. EG: <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=data VALUE="<?=htmlentities($data);?>"> -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
