Hi,
I have a string with ' this symbol in the middle of the text
example:-
" that book belong to rahul's sister"
this string is to be stored in the variable "$strexp"
when I am inserting this variable in database table
following error apperes
" parse error at or near "s" "
How can I read the string and store in a variable and insert the same
into the database table ?
Use the addslashes function.
Basically:
$newstring = addslashes($oldstring);
or
$newstring = addslashes("this is some sampl''e text''");
See http://www.php.net/addslashes for more details.
Then, when you get it out of the database you need to stripslash the
string. (Does the above in reverse).
HTH,
