wildteen88 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Add the ENT_QUOTES constant to the function, like so:[code=php:0]$str = <<<EOFthis has " double and ' single quotes in!EOF;echo htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES);[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/32441-a-single-and-double-quote-question/#findComment-150754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
