jeff5656 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 If I put into the database this string: Call the wife's son tomorrow How do I put it in to keep that apostrohe (wife's) and then when I retrieve it, also keep it without it displaying as wife/'s If I use stripslashes I think that just gets rid of the slash, but I want to KEEP the slash (but still protecting the database so it is not seen as a quote by the php code). I hope this is clear :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManiacDan Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Don't use stripslashes or addslashes, and make sure magic_quotes is OFF. use mysql_real_escape_string on your INSERT statements only. Don't do anything when you retrieve the data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManiacDan Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Then you have magic quotes turned on, check your php.ini Your slash has been backward in both of your examples so far. Is it really /' or is is \' ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
