kenrbnsn Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 It depends on what you want to do with the string. There's the function [a href=\"http://www.php.net/addslashes\" target=\"_blank\"]addslashes()[/a] that's good for most purposes. If you're going to be insterting the data into a mysql database, you should use the [a href=\"http://www.php.net/mysql_real_escape_string\" target=\"_blank\"]mysql_real_escape_string()[/a] function.Ken Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/10548-scaping-single-quote/#findComment-39344 Share on other sites More sharing options...
