Hello
I have been getting strange behaviour when using ' in by textboxes.
eg inputting the following
this is some test text ' and so is this
is saved to the mysql database ok as
this is some test text /' and so is this (with add slashes)
or
this is some test text ' and so is this (without add slashes)
mysql field is VARCHAR(255)
but when I retreive the data and display in textboxes on my web page, text
area type (below) is ok
<textarea class='BodyText' style='WIDTH: 85%' name="textarea"><?php echo
$opta; ?></textarea>
but input type (below) cuts everything off after the ' character. However
this does not happen with other characters such as " or /
<input type='text' class='BodyText' style='WIDTH: 85%' name='test'
value='<?php echo $opta; ?>'>
can anyone explain this behaviour and have a solution so that text with any
' characters in it is fully displayed?
Ian
