If you're doing it like <textarea>$value</textarea> Then it shouldn't matter if there are double quotes within $value. If you're doing it like <input type="text" value="$value"> Then you'll have to use htmlentities() on $value before you place it between the double quotes. If that doesn't help, show your code. ---John Holmes... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
