Irish names

[Desmond]

I have a problem sending email from a for supplied as html

if in the person has to supply an additional Name field it
works if his name is Smith but if it is O'Brian it fails.

is there away to overcome this apostrophe problem.

What problem? My crystal ball says you might have an escaping problem,
but it need more input to be sure.

Thanks that was so funny i split my sides.
$name = "Peter O'Toole" went as part as an email sublect or message
it comes out as Peter O\Toole

The ['] is replaced with [\]

There is a problem in database that insists that you have to double up
with a string replace function to give [''].

so without the silly humour how do you put the $name into the email
message correctly

I can't even imagine this is true.

What humor? I was being sarcastic.

There should be a FAQ entry for escaping in in this group. I think I
even wrote a little about it. Do a search for it and you might find out
what is really going on (Message-ID: <42*********************@news6.xs4all.nl>)

BTW because i hate TOFU: Goodbye.

I noticed that Message-ID:
<11**********************@g44g2000cwa.googlegroups .com> from Desmond
contained the following:

I know one thing. You'll need Daniel's help before he needs yours.

Your loss.

Ohhh, sounds like someone has a broken sense of humour.

BTW: someone with the word 'tool' in his last name should not be dispensing
insults.
