| Hello,
This is my first post and I am rather  about how to fix this
problem. On the site that I am designing I have a form that users enter
specific data and then submit it. Now the data ends up being saved into
mysql. Now the problem is if the user types a ' in the form and then submits
it the php parse assumes that the ' is the end of a php string. So I changed
the string to have " instead of the '. Now if the user types a " it does the
same thing. I tried using mysql_escape_string. This solved the problem. Now
when I load the data back onto the webpage for the user to verify it i get a
\' or \" in the string they submitted. What I want to do is convert the \'
and \" back to there general character for displaying. I know this may be a
simple feat to over come but I have been looking and seem to be bypassing
whatever it is that needs to fix this. If anyone can help that would be
great. Thanks
