[RESOLVED] Parsing values to form field

[zzz]

I have a form where a user can eter their name. Then I do $user_name = addslashes($_POST['user_name']); Then I input this data into the db. On another page I retreive the value as: stripslashes($usr->username) .

If the name is something like O'Connor everything looks ok until I want to put this as a values into a text field, but it only outputs as O. Here's how my form code looks like:

<input type=text name='user_name' value='".stripslashes($usr->username)."'>

Kind of weird...

switch the quotes....

echo "<input type=text name='user_name' value='".stripslashes($usr->username)."'>";

// SHOULD BE

echo '<input type="text" name="user_name" value="'.stripslashes($usr->username).'">';

The reason you get the O is because the quote delimits the string so you have thsi:
value='O'Conner'>
which isn't valid HTML.

I'll be darn-- would've never thought of this one... wow...
