how to get variable with " into form fields

[dico]

Hello,

This is probably a simple question.

I am pulling some data from a DB.... for example: John's house is "COOL"

I need to put it in: <input type="text" name="whatever" value="John's house is "COOL"">

as you can see, the " really throw this off. How can I best get this working?

Thanks,

Use [man]htmlspecialchars/man or [man]htmlentities/man. Basically, you need to use the escaped form of the quotes in HTML.
