Aravinthan Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hi, I have a little problem. I am fetching data from MYSQL database, with the fied name, Name. Ok so the thing is some of the name have single quotes in them. SO when I want to pass it via $GET to another page, it doesnt show the full name... The other page, takes the value and prints information for that name... I tried addslahses, without any help... Is there a word-around? Thanks for your help, Ara Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/171039-solved-escpaing-charcters/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aravinthan Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hi, OK so I dont get the problem. The link says: name=Ryan%20O%27Reilly And %20 = Space %27 = single quote... So far so good right no? Well not quite, I put it in a variable: $player = $_GET['name']; And when I echo it out: Ryan O\'Reilly Where did that slash comes from? In the link, there is no slash....

ldb358 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 did you say that you where esacping it? if the get_magic_quotes_gpc is on, on your server it will automaticly slash every thing so make sure to use stripslashes before escaping Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/171039-solved-escpaing-charcters/#findComment-902183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
