[PHP] Display strings with single quotes

2003-02-20 Thread Rea_David
Hi all, 

Have simple but annoying issue, I want to display a string within an
input field. This string contains '  so when it's being display the,
anything after the ' is being left out. Here is the code I'm using:

$string = str_replace(', '', $string);
$string = stripslashes($string);
echo input type=text name='value' size=20 value = '$string';

Thanks
Dave

  Pass the string through htmlentities(); before you echo it.

  htmlentities won't work with single quotes, use addslashes:

Addslashes will have no effect. HTML does not recognize the \ character as
an escape character. That's a PHP concept.

 Actually just (only) htmlentities() will do. See manual for options
regarding
 whether to encode single-quotes and double-quotes.

  input type='text' name='value' size='20' value=' .
  htmlentities(addslashes($string)) . ';

But, you're right that this won't work. htmlentities() by itself will leave
single quotes alone. What you want to use is

htmlentities($string,ENT_QUOTES);

which will convert single and double quotes to entities.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks very much for your reply, but I'm having no luck with it. In
the test that I'm doing, I'm using the same code as you provided. It's on a
Solaris system  the permissions  ownership of the shell script is correct.
The shell script is also located in the same directory as the php file. All
the shell script is doing is creating a file  works grand when run from the
command line. Have you any ideas/thoughts on this? I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks 
Dave

if you have a shell script called blah.sh

$script = 'blah.sh';

exec($script);
system($script); // my favourite

or if you like you could do

`blah.sh` // backticks

[PHP] Adding a variable to oracle that contains quotation marks??

2003-01-21 Thread Rea_David
Hi All,

I'm trying to add a variable to an oracle database but it fails due
to the fact that it contains quotation marks.  These have to be present for
the end user. My Script is as follows:
===
if ($conn == true)
{

$query = UPDATE ACTIVITY
SET COMMENTS = '$updatecomments' WHERE ACTIVITY_ID =
'$actcode';
$cursor = Ora_Open ($conn);
$result = Ora_Parse ($cursor, $query); 
$result = Ora_Exec ($cursor); 

ora_close($cursor);
Ora_Logoff($conn);
} 
===

Can anyone tell me what to do!

Thank you 
Dave

RE: [PHP] Adding a variable to oracle that contains quotation marks??

2003-01-21 Thread Rea_David
Thanks Rick  Henry, but I am still unable to add single quotation marks '.
When I added the \' to the variable as given below (thanks again Rick) I get
the following error when trying to add anything, regardless of ':

Warning: Ora_Parse failed (ORA-00911: invalid character -- while processing
OCI function OPARSE) in
/services/apache_1.3.22/www-dev/isg/isg_tools/activitytracker/admin/selectac
tivity.php on line 28

Perhaps I'm missing something very small? I have done a stripslash on the
variable also, but with no extra success!

Any ideas?
Dave

P.S. Henry, the double quotation is ok.

Once you use double quota mark the character BackSlash doesn't need anymore
that's my experience ^_^

RE: [PHP] How can I remove the last character from a one line file?

2002-05-30 Thread Rea_David

Hi all,

The problem is nearly solved.  I need my if statement to read the
last character from the file  if it ends with an o, then remove the one
character.  My current if statement allows the action to take place if there
is an o anywhere in the file.  Can somebody help me with this.

My current if statement looks like this:

if (eregi (.*\b,$port)){
$port=substr($port,0,(strlen($port)-1));
}

Thanks alot
Dave

See readdir() in the online manual.  I'm pretty sure it even has example
