Question

I am using tinymce editor to have html page and then insert it in mysql.
I tried this:

 $esdata = mysql_real_escape_string($data);

it is working for all html except images. If I have hyperlink like:

http://www.abc.com/pic.jpg

then it makes it somewhat very obscure and the image doesn’t appear.

INPUT
<img src="../images/size-chart.jpg" alt="Beer" />

OUPUT
<img src="\&quot;&quot;images/size-chart.jpg\\&quot;\&quot;" alt="\&quot;Beer" />

Answer 1

Try to use urlencode and urldecode to escape the string.
As Christian said it is not used for the sake of DB but to keep the things as it is. So you can also use urlencode and urldecode.

For Ex:

//to encode
$output = urlencode($input);


//to decode
$input = urldecode($output);
