RE: [PHP] Stripping single quotes
I'd have a look at those double equals signs ... I think they should be single:
$fldemail = stripslashes($fldemail);
$fldemail = ereg_replace("'","",$fldemail);

RE: [PHP] Stripping single quotes
Darn, it still 'aint working. Ok, let's say $fldemail contains
"o\'[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
I then run these:
$fldemail == stripslashes($fldemail);
$fldemail == ereg_replace("'","",$fldemail);
And I get "o\'[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ... damn.
Any ideas? Thanks,
Matt Stone

Re: [PHP] Stripping Single Quotes
use the following code
$vals=explode("'", "'abc'");
$your_value=$vals[0]; //I am little confused, if it is not working try
index1

If there's no chance that the string could also contain legit single-quotes (such as as an apoostrophe), you can simply use str_replace(). Otherwise, either str_replace() with strpos() -- to search/replace only on 2nd char and 2nd-to-last character -- or good ol' preg_replace() by itself. -- CC -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
