Quatation Mark Glitch O_o

[shiann]

You\'ve

\"I\'m so sorry!\"

This is what shows up when I type " or '. How do I fix it...?

I lurked a lot, and couldn't find anything.. ;_;

Use stripslashes() & htmlspecialchars_decode()

$string = "You\'ve";
$string = stripslashes($string); // You've

$string = "\"I\'m so sorry!\"";
$string = htmlspecialchars($string); // "I'm so sorry!"

Oh, ok thank you!!

 

[Hall of Famer]

umm are you trying to do a quotation system for your adoptables site Shiann? This sounds interesting to me.

 

[shiann]

No, I was planning on using the quotation marks for the character interactions with the member.. But I may look into a quotation system, if I figure out what it is.

I've had issues with this as well.

@ fadillzzz: I'm a bit confused as to where the code is to be added to resolve the issue. Is this something put into the function page? Or is it to be specifically put on the pages where the issue is occurring?

You'll want to put it just before you use the string. Or you can put

$article_content = stripslashes($article_content);

AFTER

// clean all our data
$_POST = array_map('secure',$_POST);
$_GET = array_map('secure',$_GET);

in the functions page and that should effectively strip slashes from ALL of your content. But then BBCode wouldn't work I don't think.

That's so weird. I put it in the functions and for some reason it's still showing up everywhere.

 

[fadillzzz]

I suggest that you only use it on certain pages where the glitch is happening, and probably place it right before the echo showpage

$article_content = stripslashes($article_content);

echo showpage(...);

@ fadillzzz: Excellent! Thank you very much. That finally took care of the problem. I really appreciate the help.
