LLLLLLL Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I have an input textbox on a form. If the user enters ' into the field, how can I store that exact string in the database? And then, how can I read that string back out? As it is now, the text is being converted to an apostrophe. I assume that similar strings would also be translated. I need to store the string exactly as entered, because later that text will be used on a webpage (where the browser will translate it appropriately). Ideas? On MySQL 5.1.47, PHP 5.2.14 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/212956-store-literal-strings-in-the-db-get-them-back-out/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLLLLLL Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 This may not be a my_sql question after all, but rather one about the input field and post messages. HTML Special Chars might be what I need: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars.php But I don't necessarily want to convert it, I want to be sure it is not converted!
