Question

I have a variable which is like

$name=’ 18 ” LCD TV ‘;

When i try to use it in a HTML input, it doesn’t show the characters after the ”

What can i do ?

Answer 1

Use htmlentities or htmlspecialchars:

htmlentities will do all html tags.

htmlspecialchars will just do:

& " ' < >

Example

<input type="text" value="<?php echo htmlentities( $text );?>" />

If you do:

<input type="text" value="<?php echo $text;?>" />

Its essentially doing:

value="18 " LCD TV"

So the " after 18 is closing the value property
