I have a form which contains a field for "height".
If someone places an entry such as: 5'6" the form seems like it completely
empties that value.
It does NOT do this on my machine, but does on the client's machine, which
leads me to believe it is something with their php configuration.
Any ideas on what this is (and how I can work around it?)
TIA

Sounds like something to do with the 'magic quotes' setting in the php.ini
file.
Unfortunately I'm not sure what effect it will have on their other php
scripts if you change the setting on it.
Search for:
get_magic_quote s_gpc
get_magic_quote s_runtime
set_magic_quote s_runtime
on www.php.net.
Hope this helps.

Add addslashes() function.
e.g:
$var = addslashes ($_GET["var"])

Hi, Karl,
Do you mean the data doesn't get passed to the script, or when it's
redisplayed the value doesn't get displayed? Or it isn't stored in the
database correctly?
If the latter, check out htmlentities(). That's its main purpose. It
changes " to ", for example.

I haven't done any debugging yet. I think it is a magic_quotes_gp c issue.
It *looks* like the entire entry is getting deleted if it contains a
quotation mark ("). If the entry in that field doesn't contain the
quotation mark, everything is fine.

Do you use the Live HTTP Headers extension to Firefox? I've found it to
be invaluable in figuring out post problems.

Or just print_r($_REQUE ST) and check what's there. If that's OK (and it
usually is), check your code.
Posting quotation marks is (almost) never the problem, only the code that
deals with it. Without that specific code, we can guess all we want, posting
the specific piece of code that handles it can give you a much more usefull
answer.
Grtz,
