[SOLVED] Retrieving a field containing quotes

[jdh23]

Hi folks, I have a field in a mysql table like "...We Also Walk Dogs". If I call it with

    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {...

    ....

    $title = $row['title'];

    ...

I can go

    echo $title

and the output will be "...We Also Walk Dogs" with quotes as shown.

but when I try to display it in a <form> like this

    <input id="title" name="title" size="50" value="<? echo $title ?>"><br>

nothing shows up.  If this field has no quotes, eg. We Also Walk Dogs it shows up fine.

Is there something else I should do to make this field display as a value in a form?

Thanks,

--John

Use the function htmlentities() with the option ENT_QUOTES when displaying the value.

 

<input id="title" name="title" size="50" value="<?php echo htmlentities($title,ENT_QUOTES) ?>">
