replace " with mycode1

[Anon]

Hey, on my site, a spot where the user inserts info, if the string that is being inserted has a " in it will mess up. I know you can use addslashes(), but I am curious if I can do it like this: Replace all the " with mycode1, and then when I display the info I will replace all the mycode1 with ". How can I do this? Thanx!

use ereg_replace.

I have already looked at ereg_replace, however it just had all kinds of stuff that was getting replaced, can you please show me how to just replace that, keep it simple so that I can learn how it works. Thanx!

use ereg_replace like this before you put the content into the database:

$string = ereg_replace(""",".abc",$string);

//note that ".abc" is just an arbitrary value

when spitting it out to the website:

$string = ereg_replace(".abc",""",$string);
print($string);

hope this helps.
