Adding "'s to a $_POST value

Ant
Hi,

I'm a bit of a newbie to php.

I have some values that I'm getting via the post method which I want to
include in an sql statement - the problem is I need to enclose the value in
"'s but I dont know how.

e.g $id = $_POST["id"];

so, if $id = monkey I want to turn it into "monkey"

Any help much appreciated - I'm sure it's something obvious and I'm just
being thick.

Hi, we are getting a lot of spam through our PHP Feedback form, and have set up a new field 'prove you're human', asking them to do some simple maths. What is the command for the PHP script itself, to say "this field must be equal to 9 or return the error page"? Thanks! Matt

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
