i suggest switching your single- and double-quotes.

 

echo "<a href='http://www.brasilwebdesign.com/classifieds/addform.php?city=$city_name'>add form</a>";

how can is echo something like that

 

$category="Apt's/Houses for Rent";

 

when im echoing you see only "Apt" its thinking that the " ' " is the end of the sentense

 

how can i print it as it is ?

where are you echoing it? in a form field? if so, you'll probably want to use htmlspecialchars():

 

$category = "Apt's/Houses for Rent";

// put it in a text field:
echo "<INPUT TYPE='text' NAME='category' VALUE='".htmlspecialchars($category, ENT_QUOTES)."'>";
