Hello everyone.
I am TOTALLY baffled. PLEASE, I need some help here.
In the event that one must deal with a name including an apostrophe...I am
looking for an appropriate solution.
The flow of data is that the name is entered in via a form text box, stored
in a MySQL table and then read back into another form or echoed out as
needed.
The problem that I am trying to overcome is what happens when an apostrophe
is used in a name, i.e. D'linda.
When I pull the information from the table and try to insert into a text box
on a form, I only get D. No 'linda.
I have tried escaping it, i.e. D\'linda and tried all the variations of ',"
and '".???."' that I can think of. The challenge is placing the name in
this text box:
<input type=text name=addr size=30 maxlength=30 value='".$row[addr]."'>
In the above code, D'linda is stored in $row[addr].
ALL input is most certainly appreciated!

Have you got magic quotes turned on? I don't get this problem with my test
database and it's pretty bog standard tutorial stuff. http://www.ckdog.co.uk/php/sqltest8.php

Use PHP as it's supposed to, and don't just "print" everything...
then you can produce good HTML....

<input type="text" name="addr" size="30" maxlength="30"

Thank you one and all for your suggestions! I appreciate your input.
Due to Magic Quotes (runtime level) being turn off on the Server that host's
my page, I am not able to benefit from that feature as I do not know of a
way to turn them on from a PHP script.
After reading all of the responses and trying all that was offered, I ended
up with the following:
echo "<td><input type=text name=paddr1 size=30 maxlength=30
value=\"".htmls pecialchars($ro w[paddr1])."\"></td></tr>";
This is doing the job, as far as populating the box appropriately.
Again, THANK YOU one and all!

Hello,
remember a few points . it is not xhtml compliant to write html code
that doesnt include "" in it.. <img cellpadding="0" /> is valid xhtml
as <img cellpadding=0 /> is not.
in php print will interp. anything between " " looking for $variables
echo does not. this is slower than using echo and concatinating.
yeah its neat to break up your <? php open and closing tags.. but
sometimes this gets annoying. so my suggestion is something like this:
echo '<input type="text" name="addr" size="30" maxlength="30"
value="'.$row['addr'].'" />';
and please for the love of god its $row['addr'] not $row[addr]
i hope this was helpful :)

To prevent future apostrophe bugs and errors, isn't it just simpler to
forbid an apostrophe from being entered into a text field? For example,
couldn't "Alice's Restaurant" be changed to "Alices Restaurant" etc.
automatically and programmatically during data entry? This would eliminate
my concatinated strings from producing errors when I base the string on a
query. Think this is an example of the "Dreaded Apostrophe Bug." If I
