Re: [PHP] Double quotes in form fields and submitting them
Hi, foobar becomes simply \ I've lost foobar AND the double quotes. Is there a way to keep them all? --Stephen - Original Message - From: Miguel Cruz [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: webapprentice [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 23, 2002 7:49 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Double quotes in form fields and submitting them On Fri, 22 Mar 2002, webapprentice wrote: I have a form with a text field, say userName.

Re: [PHP] Double quotes in form fields and submitting them
That's a little odd; something else must be going on. Can you provide some more code, and, preferably, a pointer to a live example? miguel On Sat, 23 Mar 2002, webapprentice wrote: Hi, foobar becomes simply \ I've lost foobar AND the double quotes.

[PHP] The infamous HTML quotes Re: [PHP] Double quotes in form fields and submitting them
Sorry Miguel, it's the HTML entities nonsense again. It displayed as \ on my browser, but the HTML source code indicated otherwise. Thus, if I entered foobar, it shows up as \ but the HTML source shows. input type=text name=realName value=\foobar\ So value=\ was the culprit, so you're original solution was in the right direction. stripslashes() itself wouldn't work because the HTML source would be value=foobar and on in HTML, only the first two double quotes count. The solution was this, which apparently has been discussed many times before. stripslashes(htmlentities($HTTP_POST_VARS[realName])); or stripslashes(htmlspecialcharacters($HTTP_POST_VARS[realName])); Thanks for your help in leading me to the right direction. - Original Message - From: Miguel Cruz [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: webapprentice [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 23, 2002 8:03 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Double quotes in form fields and submitting them That's a little odd; something else must be going on.
