Hi there, you should simply duplicate in every input string the apostrophe.
Meaning that if the input string is: eee'eee after manipulating it - BEFORE inserting it to the DB it will be: eee''eee ( ' twice, NOT A double quote) in the DB it will appear as SINGLE apostrophe. That will work! :o) David. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 22, 2001 10:55 AM Subject: Handling apostrophes > Hi all, > > I'm developing an application which uses java servlets and JSPs and > a MySQL database running on Tomcat 4.0. > > I take user input, store it on the db, then display it again.
