Remove Chars

[Andy252]

How do I remove any " ' and ` from a string ?

[dgiberson]

You could do a string replace... Is this so the data will insert into a db? if so you can just do $var = addslashes($var); and it will insert no problem

I have that in place at the moment.

Its for putting URLs into MySQL. The problem is if someone put " ' ` in the URL is cocks up the scripting when it prints out the URL on the front end.

Also could do with removing < > too.

Thanks

that should get you goin.

[code=php:0]
$badchars = array("\"", "'", "`", "<", ">");
$cleanstring = str_replace($badchars, "", $dirtystring);
[/code]

You could also do this with a regular expression and preg_replace.
