Hi
I am not a PHP user; I manage the server/ network for our business.
We've employed web developers (chosen because they're friends of the
MD) to build us a site and they've used PHP & MySQL to do it.
The problem we have is that if we use an apostrophe when writing a
product description or product title in the back office of our site,
when that data is then used or carried through to another part of the
site eg. a live product page or an order summary page, the apostrophe
has a backslash before it. We have run into other issues with the use
of various punctuation marks in the text fields of the back end of the
site and have always been told by the developers that it is a fault of
PHP and is common with PHP text fields.
Now, as I said, I'm not a PHP user and certainly no expert. But I have
installed and used Mambo Server, Wordpress, phpBB and a couple of other
PHP MySQL products through my own curiosity and have done so
successfully and have never experienced any of the issues we seem to be
facing with these text boxes. I am growing increasingly suspicious of
the level of competence of the developers and feel that they are making
excuses for their inability. Can anyone tell me, from what I've said
here, whether my suspicions are justified or is it the case that PHP is
limited in these areas?
Any help/ advice would be really appreciated,
TIA
