RE: [PHP] Text boxes posted to MySQL record that contain quotes
wow i've had this issue aswell only yesterday , like in my search page of the project i've just done i stored the search values of each option so that they can return bak to the search page and edit their search entry , anyway the fulltext search text input can contain quotes denoting exact phrase , this breaks in the textbox in fact even with addslashes like so \some text\ it will show up in the text input box like so \ , how do we get around this ? -Original Message- From: Vernon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2003 12:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Text boxes posted to MySQL record that contain quotes I know that using stripslashes will remove \ using php but I'm having trouble with posting quotation marks in a text record field.

RE: [PHP] Text boxes posted to MySQL record that contain quotes
apologies i hope it didnt look like i just hijacked the thread i was just adding to it, this is a pretty serious issue though i dont think i've ever come across it before funny enough as most the quoted text is in the textarea instead , the quik fix i've done is to remove the quotes altogether but that just defeats the purpose. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Text boxes posted to MySQL record that contain quotes
OK when I use the mysql_escape_string() it adds the slashes so that the message will have \the message\ so I've tried using the stripslashes() as such: $message = stripslashes(mysql_escape_string($HTTP_POST_VARS['message'])); which then causes the orginal problem, so it seems that I keep trying to reverse each other. I don't want the slashes and I need the quotes. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
