Are you aware of what port they are getting in on?

Im assuming that you tried changing $host = "localhost"; to your servers IP address? It could be that your DB service is not liking connections as root.

This is probably due to the charictor type. You can try setting: header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8"); The best option would be to replace the symbole with its HTML Code. Eg: £ becomes £ http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm is very usefull. You can always do a search and replace as data comes out of the database onto a page if needs be. Hope that helps

frost110's solution worked perfectly! Many thanks!

Hello, Im trying to search for a charictor in a string using the following. $arr = array("\"","<",">"); if (strpos($field, $arr) === false) { } if i specify a charictor instaead of using $arr it works fine, however if i use and array ($arr) it won't work. I need to search for more then one charictor! Can anyone tell me a good way round this? Thanks!

Hello, Im looking for a way to pop up a message or box when a user types one of sevrial charictors into a textbox. Can anyone point me in the direction of an example or tutorial they may know of? Thanks!

I think that must have been a typo. I ran: $htmlurl = "e011_Again_It's_!_$_&_'_(_)_|_\\\"_;_:_\_._<_>_`.htm"; $en = urlencode($htmlurl); echo $en."<br>"; //ENCODED echo $htmlurl."<br>"; //PLAIN echo urldecode($htmlurl); //DECODED And got Thanks for your help so far!

Actual file name: Code: $htmlurl = "e011_Again_It's_!_$_&_'_(_)_|_\\\"_;_:_\_._<_>_`.htm"; $text .= "<a href=\"".urlencode($htmlurl)."\" target=\"blank\">$htmlurl</a>"; If i do View Source:

Ok, but is there a way of doing the with out changing the charictors, as the file is named using the < > and " charictors not %3C etc. If i use %3C in the link, it tells me the page cannot be found! Thanks

Hello, I tried all the options on that page and always got something like: e011_Again_It's_!_$_&_'_(_)_|_/%22_;_:_/_._%3C_%3E_`.htm in the link rather then the e011_Again_It's_!_$_&_'_(_)_|_\"_;_:_\_._<_>_`.htm i was expecting. (sory its so long! Just checking to see what causes problems!) They all replacesd the symbols with something else, rater then just telling it to do something like skip over them. Thanks.

Hello. I have a files which could be something like: gunk>stuff"yes.htm But when i link to them this causes havouc with the HTML! I tried relpacing them with \> and \" but that didn't make any diffrence. Whats the way round this? Thanks.

Thank you. Is there any way i can get round this? Perhaps putting the image under the table? The thing with that is that i dont know where the table will be, as there could be any number of copys of it. Ta!

Hello. I have a table with a background image. When i print the page however i dont see the image, just the contents of the table. Can any one suggest why? Many Thanks

Spot On! Many Thanks.

Thanks. Worked well other then with the < charictor. ( the output i was expecting was \> ) Im trying: $str = "<"; $invalied_chars = array("<"); $writein = array("\\<"); $result = str_replace($invalied_chars, $writein, $str); echo $result; I also tried: $writein = array("\\<"); and got the output \\ And $str = "<"; and got the output \\\ Can any one suggest where im wrong? Thanks! EDIT: i cant use < of char() as it will end up being output to create a unix file name, not for web output.

Hello, Im using the following to search for charictors in a string that are causing problems, and placing a \ infrount of them. Im trying to do it using: <?php $str = "string's"; $invalied_chars = array(" ", "'"); $result = str_replace($invalied_chars, "\\", $str); echo $result; ?> The bit im confused by was how to keep the old charictor, just proceeding it with a \ rather then replacing it? Thanks
