I am trying to create a database table with the following fields
areaid, mapname, shape, coords, partid, href
i use the following select statement:
select areaid, mapname, shape, coords, partid, href from imagemaps where mapname=$imagmap
the maps are generated correctly....i can test it and they are fine until the href field is 'echoed'
this is an example of entry for href (data type text max size 512 using mySQL)
buildnumbersearch.php?buildnumber=$buildnumber&collection=$imgCollection&pic=$pic&partsaction=showparts&keyword=03BOF0594&value=ALL&searchoption=partnum&showsepack=$sepack&title=$title&imagemap=$title
as youo can see it is simple php coding. however when the scripit is executed and i copy the shortcut info for a map area, it is echoed as above....the php variables are interchanged to the data required
Can anyone help why??? do i have to insert escape chars around the data variables in my field data???
thanx for any help
