double quotes issue

[gizzmo]

Hello everyone

This has puzzeled me for weeks. I have this string ina variable

$message = 'my name is gilbert "the magnificant" also know as the great one';

when I parsed this I get my name is Gilbert

what happen to the rest and how can I get it to print out the "the magnificant" with the quotes around it.

Thank you in advanced.

you can just do
$message = "My name is Gilbert \"The Magnificent\", also known as the great one";

Huh???

This works fine for me:

<?php
$message = 'my name is gilbert "the magnificant" also know as the great one';
echo $message;
?>

I would bet you are doing something like this:

echo '<input type="text" name="foo" value="'.$message.'">';

In that case, the HTML ends up like this:

<input type="text" name="foo" value="my name is gilbert "the magnificant" also know as the great one">

The value= part ends with the first quote.

You need to use [man]htmlentities[/man] to put stuff into HTML. Like this:

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