[SOLVED] 2 basic questions . . .

[itdmacar]

HI,

 

1 ) How do I make my text smaller in my option value ? It using the standard size, is it possible to change the size text ?

 

            <option value="<?php echo $_SESSION['lnktown']; ?>"><?php echo $_SESSION['lnktown']; ?></option>

 

2) I have a header input field but whenever the text contains '  e.g. Ronald's, my script is failing due to that '

 

    I did tried to remove it by  dong this  $valheader = strip_tags(trim($value)); still failing

 

            how to convert from  Ronald's  to  Ronalds

 

Thanks in advance . . .

Yes. You should use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

 

2) You shouldn't need to remove single quotes to make your code work, but if you want to remove single quotes, try

 

str_replace("'","",$value);

2) U can use str_replace() as suggested to completely remove the ', but also u can consider adding and stripping slashes:

 

<?php
$name = "Ronald's";
$name = addslashes($name);
echo $name; //will output: Ronald\'s
?>

 

In this way ull not have problems with database queries and stuff. To strip those slashes and return the string to original u use stripslashes():

 

echo stripslashes($name); //will produce: Ronald's

use mysql_real_escape_string if you are using MySQL, not addslashes!

<?php
$name = "Ronald's";
$name = stripslashes($name);
$name=mysql_real_escape_string($name);
?>

[BlueSkyIS]

why stripslashes when there are none? Forget stripslashes.

[darkfreaks]

haha yeah sorry guess i didnt bother to read the original post i didnt see someone added in addslashes.

 

 

<?php
$name = "Ronald's";
$name=mysql_real_escape_string($name);
?>
