[PHP-DB] adding Carrol O'Conner in a form From: Ken Sommers (mrsql.php <email protected>)
Date: 07/01/01

HI,
IF i add my name as Carol O'Conner in a form and Echo (PHP 4.06 on win 95) it back I see

Carol O\'Conner

If I pass that name along to another page I'll see it as:

 Carol O\\\'Conner

Even if I use : <?php echo(htmlspecialchars ($name, ENT_QUOTES)); ?>

IF I enter my name as: Carol O'Conner <died>
I'll see it echoed as

Carol O\'Conner <died>

so I am thrilled that the <> came back and was displayed as it was typed in by the user

but how do I get rid of that pesky slash \ ?

so I can echo exactly what the user typed in?

I am already using:

 <?php echo(htmlspecialchars ($name, ENT_QUOTES)); ?>

Thanks for the help,

ken
