Help with preg_replace

sks1024

I have my db pulling info into an array. One of the fields from the array is being placed in a text box as the value of the box. If the value has no single or double quotes it displays fine. I the value has these (single or doule quotes) it displays up to where the single or double quote is and stops.

If the value is 'John's Hat' it would display

'John' and stop there.

while ($Row = mysql_fetch_array($Result)) {

print"<td width=264> <input type=text name=subject value='Re: $Row[fldtitle]'></td>";

}

Is preg_replace what I am looking for here.
How can I get the whole value to display without stopping.

Thanks,
Stan

maybe strip_slashed();

would do the trick here
otherwise yes preg_replace would do it as well..

Not quite sure how I would use preg_replace stripslahes doesn't work. It prints out as text fine, it only happens when it is a value in a text box. Wierd.

preg_replace is

int preg_replace(replacement,word,int);

You should try searching the manual if you dont know how to do functions

The problem isn't in the preg_replace, it's in the HTML.

<td width=264> <input type=text name=subject value='Re: John's Hat'></td>

See the problem? This is exactly the reason why [man]htmlspecialchars[/man] was written. Use it. And brush up on your HTML. Better would be;
<td width="264"> <input type="text" name="subject" value="Re: John's Hat"></td>

This is what I got to work for me.

<?php 
$single_quote = "&#039;";
$re_title = str_replace("'",$single_quote,$Row[fldtitle]);
print"<td width=264> <input type=text name=subject value='Re: $re_title'></td>";

?>
