Hello
This time a more specific questions. What do you do with user input
that potentially could include single and double quotes. Single quotes
will cause problems with my sql statements (postgresql in my case) and
double quotes with the html code (i.e. value attribute of a form field).
Do you add escape characters each time you do an SQL code (i.e. a second
single quote) and when including them in value attributes (i.e.
backslash). Or do you store the data after it has been converted with
htmlspecialchars() (i.e. double quote becomes " and single quote
becomes '). Or do you have a better way to do it?
Thanks,
Claus
