you can hack it yourself with str_replace().

[PHP] formatting form input

2002-04-16 Thread ROBERT MCPEAK

How do I use PHP to remove certain characters from form input? 
Specifically, how to I ensure that form data does not contain any
newline/linebreak or tab characters?

Thanks!

[PHP] formatting form input/sql insert

2002-04-16 Thread ROBERT MCPEAK

I'm collecting data with from textarea inputs.  The user may enter a
linebreak with the return key, or a tab, etc.  I then write this data to
a mySQL table, formatting the data with addslashes().

I then output the data to a text file using a "select into file"
statement.  When I import the file into excel, or view it with an
editor, the user entered tabs & linebreaks are being interpreted as
field separators and record separators.

How do I format the input to solve this problem?

Thanks!

-Bob
