Re: [PHP-DB] PROBLEM IN INSERTING TEXT WITH SINGLE QUOTE

You can turn this off if you wish, or simply do a stripslashes() on the string you are displaying. > is then input into the database as - automatically adding > the backslash. No, here you are confused. Unless you are doing an addslashes() yourself, it will go into MySQL correctly. -Rasmus -- PHP Database 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]
[PHP-DB] PROBLEM IN INSERTING TEXT WITH SINGLE QUOTE
Hello all, I am having a problem in inserting text with apostrophe to mysql database. When a user fills out a form field that includes an apostrophe , the verify screen shows it as and it is then input into the database as - automatically adding the backslash. The problem is that when the record is pulled out of the MySQL database into my display script it also shows up as - with the backslash - but I want viewers to see it as - without the slash. Then, if I modify the record and don't take out the slash, it adds an additional slash so I wind up with . Can someone help me with my problem? Thanks in advance, Jen
