Re: [PHP] pop textarea field w/ text incl. quotes

[David Allen Reid]

Why store the html in the db? Why not have multiple db fields, say url and desc
then when you grab them from the db to be outputed put them into the html
print ''.$desc.'';

Then you wouldn't have to input all the html when it gets stored in the db, not
have to worry about quotes, or htmlspecialchars();.  Also out of curiosity are
you stripping all tags but  from the input?  Wouldn't want to get any nasty
users inputting  refresh tags or anything...

Re: [PHP] getting what's between

[David Allen Reid]

Maybe something along the lines of:

$results = eregi("Item3[a-Z 0-9]", $data);
