This is more of a php problem than mysql, but since I am using them in combo...
I have a database for people from the former Soviet Union that have participated in a certain program. One of the fields represents the name of their company. It is common (although not universal) practice to use quotes when writing the name of your company, (i.e. Limited Liability Company "Widgetron"). Anyhow, one of the scripts that I am using has <? echo "$companyname";?> It works great when the person isn't using quotes in the company name, but when they are the quoted part disappears. If everyone was using quotes, I think I could deal with the problem (however, that the quotes don't include the whole field is somewhat troubling). If no one was using quotes, there would be no problem. How do I write a script that detects the presence of quotes and based on their presence or absence decides how to format them.
