Subject: Using apostrophe's within a text field
Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2007 00:15:03 -0400
OK guys, here is my delima, which is probably very easy to solve, but I
can't seem to find it. I am trying to get form fields to accept
apostrophes within the input and stop crashing on me. I'm writing forms
into a mysql database and everything works great unless the user enters a
word like "won't" or "can't". Them it crashes during the form submit.
What can I do to fix this stupid thing anyway?
thanks in advance.
Steve Smith
