data not appearing..

[Anon]

Hi,

I'm displaying data in text fields (for a script that updates the data once submitted).

The script pulls the data from the database and puts it into the text fields without a problem, unless the data has "'/ marks in it.

If it has these characters, it prints the data that comes before but ignores the data that comes after.

e.g.

$data['item1'] is Phil's work

its displayed in the text field as: Phil

the characters after the ' are ignore.

Any help would be great.

Phil.

The quote in the data is ending a quote in your generated HTML. For example, you probably have ...val='<?php echo $val; ?>'... You can see how a single quote in $val would close the first quote and leave the rest of the string as unrecognized HTML, which is ignored by the browser.

Where you output to html, change this:

$data['item1']

to this:

htmlspecialchars($data['item1'], ENT_QUOTES)
