Mystery hidden tag

[Anon]

I hav this string which I pass to my HTML hidden field, but everytime I use the ' char in the string the hidden tag is not closing ('> is missing), the result is that the whole string is beeing printet in the browser.
Is there a solution to this?

here is my code:

echo "<input type='hidden' name='brodtekst' value='".str_replace ("\n","<br>", stripslashes($brodtekst));"'>\n";

echo "<input type='hidden' name='brodtekst' value='".str_replace ("\n","<br>", stripslashes($brodtekst));."'>\n";

use this. you forgot the period at the end.

try something like

$brod = str_replace ("\n","<br>", stripslashes($brodtekst));

echo "<input type='hidden' name='brodtekst' value='$brod'>\n";

Thomas,

&nbsp;&nbsp;stripslashes($brodtekst));

should read:

&nbsp;&nbsp;stripslashes($brodtekst)) .

The semi-colon is telling the parser that you've closed the echo statement, and is thus ignoring the rest of the string (should be giving a parse error too). HTH.

Nope, still not working.

Hmm.... just took another quick look. You problem is probably in "str_replace("\n", "&lt;br>". You need to escape the \ in \n to \n....... or just use the nl2br() function since it's designed to convert newlines into break spaces. ie:

&nbsp;&nbsp;echo "<input type='hidden' name='brodtekst' value='" . stripslashes(nl2br($brodtekst)) . "'>\n";

HTH.

OK, thank you very much for this for help on this litle problem.

Well I stopped using single quotes in my HTML tags and used double quotes instead

It made it easier, even that did'nt get any wiser, eh 🙂

echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"brodtekst\" value=\"".str_replace ("\n","<br>", stripslashes($brodtekst))."\">\n";
