[PHP] quotes
Ok I have been searching to no avail. I have a form that lets you add new sets of information to a database. Once you add information i have a page that displays this information in a series of text fields. I have done this so you can alter the information in the fields hit edit and the information is updated, you are brought back to the same page and there you see your updated information. This all works fine. The problem is if the usere enters a quote. I have used addslashes(), and the information is entered fine, but when I display the information in the form fields its cut off right after the quote. I tried stripslashes() didnt work. If i url encode the input i get the html entity displayed in the form field. Does anyone have any suggestions? Im just trying to make a nice interface for editing this data. Thanks in advance.

Re: [PHP] quotes
Does anyone know why this works this way? seems kinda odd that a textarea will display it correctly but a normla field will not. Try a textarea. Example: Lucas _ Tired of spam?

Re: [PHP] quotes
it doesnt work, i just tried it. the text is still cut off after the quote Just try htmlentities()! A textarea is for multiple lines of text! _ Tired of spam?

Re: [PHP] quotes
go ahead an try it. the quote is quite clearly in the database, but when i try to put it back in a form field everything is cut off after the quote. and i tried stripslashed, and htmlentities, and htmlspecialchars. i would turn magic quotes on, but im afaid it might mess something else up. there is too much stuff running on this serever to take that risk.
