Hi Jeffrey,
try this:
>>>
print "<input type='text' name='some_variable'
value='".htmlspecialchars($some_text)."'>\n";

I have an application which calls up some data from a MySQL table

One of the cells holds a text string which is put into a text input
field. However, if that text string includes an apostrophe, all
text after the apostrophe disappears.
For example, if the test string from a database cell reads...
Fix the managers' cars by Tuesday
and that is saved in the variable $some_text, which is called up in
a form...
<input type='text' name='some_variable' value='$some_text'>
The text field on the web page will only contain...
Fix the managers
How can I get the text field to show the entire string?
Many thanks,
Jeffrey
