Apostrophe Problem

[dreamerp]

Hello,

I am passing information thru hidden fields after someone puts a value in. For example.

There is a textfield named "name". Let's say a person types, "Kirupa's Forum". Then, you press submit and there is a confirmation page that reviews the information. I used stripslashes on $name so when I echo it it shows it "Kirupa's Forum". But, in the hidden field it says "Kirupa". How can I change this?

Thanks,

Peter

I have also tried htmlspecialchars and this didn't work for some reason.

try " /' "

Other people will be entering information, not me.

If you're striping slashes only to display the information but you still need to submit it again, just use the stripslashes() function when you show the name.

The other option would be to use stripslashes right when you get the data being passed and then use addslashes() when putting the information into the hidden value.
