Allowing ' and "

Hello everyone,

 

I am creating a form where users submit information to go into a database. I want the users to be allowed to use both ' and " in their messages, but the problem is when I try to display what they have written, it will not show up on the page. How do I allow these characters?

To display data on a web page that contains characters that have significance in HTML, you need to use htmlentities on the data when you output it to prevent the special characters in it from breaking the HTML on your page. Also, if you are outputting this data in a value="..." attribute in a form field, you need to surround it in quotes to make valid HTML.
