How do I make my textinput accept apostrophe or double quotes?
Everytime a user type's in this one: John's Birthday, I store this one in the database using mysql_real_escape_string().
What I wanted to do in here is to retrieve it in my text input.
I tried this one
The problem here is it removes the single quote and the letters that comes after the quote.
I tried to changed the value= '' from value="" but what if a user types a word that has example this one:
"You and Me". The problem is still in there.
I was thinking to use str_replace in doing this one and replace the ' into `, but again I was thinking that maybe there's an easy way to do it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
