Won't let me use quotes

[TGecho]

I have a script that carries some strings over to the next page. The only problem is, if the strings have any sort of quotes in them (single or double) it causes problems. Double quotes make the url end, and single quotes come out as \'. I tried escaping them but they come out as \\\'. I'm lost, does anyone have any ideas?

You could use

htmlentities( $string, ENT_QUOTES );

to encode the string and its quotes.

or you could pass the data as POST rather than GET

Its a safety feature in PHP TGecho.

PHP does that so that if you enter that string in a database the special characters are automatically escaped (to avoid some problems.)

The way around that is .. simply

$mystring = stripslashes($mystring);
