I'm trying to take data that was typed in MS Word and input it into MySQL. Right now I am using this to convert special chars and add slashes: function text2mysql($text) { $text = htmlentities($text); $text = addslashes($text); return $text; } However, the text that should be inputted is still cut off by other special chars. I can't seem to find a way to input text with these other special chars. Anyone else have this problem and fixed it? Thanks. -Marc
