Allowing " and ' marks

[Seaholme]

Hey,

 

I've created a messaging system for my site and I'm trying to make it so that a copy of the original message is included and automatically put into the message content box when somebody clicks to reply.

 

I've done this literally just by making the "reply" button into a form which also posts the content of the message from the previous page and puts it into the content box.

 

However I have some issues with it: firstly, wherever ' is used, it becomes \' and wherever " is used, the whole of the rest of the message is blanked out.

 

Can anybody point me in the direction of the solutions I might need to make it so that ' and " both appear normally without cutting the rest of the message off?

 

Thanks in advance & let me know if anything is missing!

Adding a ' will make it a \' as its escaping the quote for DB Protection (or your query would fall over)

 

When you echo out the code, just use stripslashes();

 

so

echo stripslashes($str);

Thanks! That has solved the ' --> \' bit.

 

However I still have the problem that " cuts off the rest of my message :[

Post the code that outputs the message. It sounds like you'll need to use htmlentities with the ENT_QUOTES flag when displaying the messages
