Quotes problem

Hi!

I have problem showing double quotes in form, when reading data from
database. Can you help me with that?

My php.ini file contains:

magic_quotes_gpc = Off
magic_quotes_runtime = Off
magic_quotes_sybase = Off


.... and I can submit via INPUT TYPE=text text like This is a "quote", but
when I want to display that data in form, I loose text after quotes, and I
get only This is a .

Can you help me? It is now really PITA for me
:-(((

Sounds like you are not running it through addslashes

That would be htmlspecialchars with the appropriate flags or htmlentities, not
addslashes, if he's displaying it in a form. HTML does not use a slash to
escape characters.
