Special Chars

[Smackie]

I just have a question is there a way to use special chars without having to turn off Register Global?

thank you

Er... can you explain a bit more? I don't have a clue what you're asking about, since special characters have nothing to do with register globals (which should always be disabled, by the way).

well i have a form and while Register Global is on you can't submit the form to the database because it will give a sql error due to the special chars. if register global is off it will work. I always solved it by turning it off but was wondering if there was a way of doing it without turning it off.

We'd have to see the code you're using. It shouldn't matter whether it's on or off assuming you define and use your own variables.

EDIT: That's not to mention the fact that you should never be placing user-supplied data directly into a SQL query anyway...
