Topic: PHP Help

Hello everyone,

I decided to make some random site today, here's the result.
http://www.omgultime.com/

Here's an example of what is creates:
http://www.omgultime.com/archives.php?id=43

Here's the questions:
When there is " in the textarea, it comes up with an error on the next screen, try it for yourself if you don't understand.
http://www.omgultime.com/create.php

Anyone would know how to fix this?

Thanks!

Re: PHP Help

I have added "htmlspecialchars" but I have no idea how to really use them.. Not sure if it fixed the problem.

"htmlentities" is sort of like htmlspecialchars. Could work better possibly.

Re: PHP Help

Try this


$content = stripslashes($page['content']);
echo $content;


Replace stuff where it should be...

$theQuestion = (2*b) || !(2*b);

The Big House Was Funny Looking
or even
the big house was funny looking into
The Big House Was Funny Looking

Re: PHP Help

ucwords ... the php online manual is one of the best I've used, and I really recommend you to get into the way it works, as it solves alot of problems ... when I do php I usually has the manual open in a browserwindow ... to see how each function exist ... and I often find one function, and on the 'related' functions I find what I'm looking for ...  (like this example, I looked at the strtolower function page, and ucwords function was linked in the 'related' list)

Re: PHP Help

Or download the Document thingy. Its a .chm file that has the entire PHP.net documentation (without the comments, of course).

Re: PHP Help

It is when your internet is disconnected at 8pm, and almost always you are coding after that time tongue

Indocron
$theQuestion = (2*b) || !(2*b);
