Display " or '

[Cetanu]

When I have users type their "about me" section, if they use " or ' it comes out \" I was telling them to use ’ for a while, but then I used htmlentities to prevent malicious attacks.

 

How can I make it so " or ' is displayed properly?

strip_slashes();

It's likely magic_quotes_gpc if the ' and " are automatically being escaped when inputted. You can turn that off in the php.ini if you promise to escape all input strings with mysql_real_escape_string before using them in a query!

So, wait:

 

I did this:

<p style="font-size: 1.5em; font-style: italic;"><?php $tag=strip_slashes($row['tagline']); echo $tag; ?></p>

 

And what it does is kill the page content after that ^

 

And I don't get the post on mysql_real_escape_string();

It's stripslashes, not strip_slashes. And you don't have to copy it to a variable, you can just echo it.

Oh, okay.
