[WARNING!] Having serious issues with single quotes displaying in input value

[onedumbcoder]

so i have an input text box where someone enters a search word,

 

but i having trouble eching back what they typed in, the single quotes are messing everything up

 

$searchvalue	= str_replace('\'','\\\'', stripslashes($searchword));

$searchvalue       = "value='" . $searchvalue . "'";

 

is not working and I have no idea why

 

I tried just using addslaches that didnt work, i tried it without it that didnt work.

 

Please one of you gurus please help me!

 

i am spending the day crying over this.  :'(

So if I understand you clearly the search isn't working when someone puts a ' or " into the search box ie can't

 

Try using mysql_escape_string

basically what is happening

 

is once the page renders

 

what is inside the input box is not valid. the single quotes are missing.
