Problem with apostrophe in text fields when submitted using php

[JCB]

When I’m entering info into a form field, if I put an apostrophe and then submit changes, it throws in a with the '

It saves the ' in the filemaker field also. This is a problem because the info is printed out in a report.

Is there a way to resolve this easily?

It sounds like your problem is with an extra addslashes() in the PHP. If your PHP installation is set up with magic quotes on, you'll automatically get escape codes in your data. You can test for the status of magic quotes:

if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {

$yourdata = addslashes($_POST['yourdata']);

} else {

$yourdata = $_POST['yourdata'];

}

That helped me out. Thanks

I resolved the issue by disabling magic quotes.

You can also test if "magic_quotes" is enabled with an if(), then take the appropriate action.
