Hi, this is my first post in the vb forums! To get down to the matter, I am a self taught PHP programmer. I've successfully created several of my very own scripts with programs being as simple a date script, and mildly advanced scripts being a user registration script w/ password recovery and updating, blah, blah, blah.....
I can do all of that, but what I can not do is remove extra ' or ''''' (apostrophies), from my text when i extract blocks of html code from my mysql database. I know that the extra apostrophes weren't there when i entered the information into my database through a form, but extra ones show up in my dynamic pages text. With the extra apostrophes being there, I can not execute direly needed javascript code, becuase there are always extra phantom apostrophies. It also makes me look like I don't know how to use punctuation in my content paragraphs. I know it's already pretty bad, so I definetly don't need a mysql database screwing it up even more, lol!
I noticed however, that when posting information is stored in my mysql database from VB, it doesn't show that annoying extra apostrophy when the end user sees the post. How in the heck do get that pesky extra apostrophy/ies to not show up in the text. I know it's a simply question and I've wasted alot of people's time, but if someone could inform on how to get rid of those darned extra apostrophies, it would be more than appreciated. I am at my wit's end.
