problem with inverted commas in text fields

[hakiepoo]

Whenever i type a bit of text containing inverted commas into a text field, I get an error message like this:

Error adding submitted news: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'test', link='test', url='test', date=CURDATE()' at line 2

I am using the following input code:

<input type="text" name="header" size="40" class="<?= $headerClass ?>" value="<?= $header ?>">

I presume this is a mixup with similar characters in the code, but i don't know how to get around this...

Anyone?

try this
<input type="text" name="header" size="40" class="<?php echo $headerClass; ?>" value="<?php echo $header; ?>">
