Input value and " or '

[jtown]

How do you get past this problem ...

I have an input type="text" and I populate the value with data. For instance ...

printf('<input type="text" value=\'%s\' name=.....', $value);

Now if $value has an ' in it such as $value = "jtown's car" the text field will only get "jtown" because of the '. If I use value="%s" I get the same thing if there are "s in $value.

\, \ and \\ don't seem to work.

TIA

always use double quotes around the value and use htmlspecialchars on the value going between it.

try using " " around the main HTML tags and ' ' around your attributes.
