RE: [PHP] Quotes getting screwed up in form fields

2002-07-27 Thread John Holmes

 If someone enters this into a field...
 
New York City
 
 and I need to re-display it in the field (if an error occurred, for
 example), this is what's in the field...
 
New York \
 
 I have another multi-line text field that I used quotes in and this
 doesn't
 happen with that field, even though they are both being treated in the
 same
 manner. What am I missing?

If you look at your source code, you'll see that the entire string is
there. It will look like this:

Value=New York\City\

HTML doesn't know that \ is used to escape the  character. It just sees
the string New York\ and treats the rest as an unknown attribute. 

So, to do it correctly, you should use this:

Value=?=htmlentities(stripslashes($your_text))?
