requinix Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 You're calling htmlspecialchars() or htmlentities() too many times. The only time you should ever call those functions is immediately before you output something into HTML/XML. Not when you put stuff into the database. Not just after pulling it out. Right at the moment you echo or print out the strings. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/262972-bug-ampampampampamp/#findComment-1347875 Share on other sites More sharing options...
