field with " or ' in webform

[nagasea]

$data = \" book's case "new" \";

how to show this correctly in

Because I got this kind of error :

<input type=text value=$data> ---> book's
<input type=text value="$data"> ---> book's case
<input type=text value='$data'> ---> book

what is the best way to display the real $data

[YappyDog]

Try:

$data = " book's case \"new\"";

<input type=text value="$data"> ---> book's case "new"

<input type=text value="$data"> ---> book's case "new"

actually that wont working.
how to show $data without echo / print ?

and then if use echo or print we need to use " or '

echo "<input type=text value="$data">";
wont work because php will see 2 "

You can do any of these:

echo "<input type='text' value='" . $data . "'>";

<?php
// PHP HERE

?> <input type="text" value="<?php echo $data; ?>"> <?php
// PHP HERE
?>

<?php

?> <input type="text" value="<?php echo $data; ?>"> <?php
// PHP HERE
?>

[/B]

with that code, it will stop the field when they hit $data with "
so that's not working too

You can do any of these:

echo "<input type='text' value='" . htmlentities($data) . "'>";

<?php
// PHP HERE

?> <input type="text" value="<?php echo htmlentities($data); ?>"> <?php
// PHP HERE
?>

looks easy but so tricky...
even that htmlentities($data) not working ... huh

What did you try?

It is likely that your implementation is wrong.

[nagasea]

I have database field contains ' or "
And I can't display that value in web forms because that ' or "

everytime I use this :
<input type=text value=$thatdatabasefield>
or
<input type=text value='$thatdatabasefield'>
or
<input type=text value="$thatdatabasefield">

It will stopped when they found the ' or "

$data = 'this is "quote"';

echo '<form><input type="text" value="'.htmlspecialchars($data).'"></form>';
