Thanks! AddSlash is just the function I am looking for! With so many functions PHP can get confusing... I was trying to use ereg_replace(), but it wouldn't work with double quotes.

Randall,

You have two options:

1) Use the htmlspecialchars() function... This changes special characters like the ' and the " to their HTML counter part. Reference http://www.php.net/manual/function.htmlspecialchars.php for more information on this function.

2) Use the addslashes() function. Add slashes basically escapes special characters, like the " and the ' ... Both can cause problems with mySQL... This is the one that I use. I use it because it doesn't convert any code and give you the ugly &#...; looking things. Reference http://www.php.net/manual/function.addslashes.php for more information on this function.

Hope that helps.
