Hi Everyone, This is my first post to the list and I appreciate any feedback, thanks.
I'm debugging a site someone else built in PHP & MySQL and on a few places in the site, there are Flash applets (.swf files) that are directly pulling strings from the MySQL database. The previous programmers neglected to properly handle apostrophes and there are many text strings displayed in the .swf files, unfortunately what exists now is that whenever an apostrophe occurs, it cuts off the rest of the string. One thing that I tried was to go into the MySQL database itself and add the escape character before the apostrophes, this resulted in the display of the encoded HTML for the apostrophe and not the actual apostrophe. Is there any trick with MySQL which I'm not aware of that will enable me to fix this without decompiling the .swf file just for this (which I really, really do not want to do)? ------------------- Kristina D.
