Question

So maybe im just dumb or tired right now and am missing the obvious or whatever but why is this mysql insert cutting the string off at the double quotes (“)>

the contents of the posted field is: It’s my text “quote”

$gpCaption = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST['gpCaption']);

$sql = "INSERT INTO galleriesphotos SET gpID = '$gpID', gID = '$gID', gpCaption = '".$gpCaption."'";
$rows = $db->query($sql);
}

Only this gets inserted into mysql: It\’s my text \

what happened to the rest of it?

Answer 1

Are you sure it is cutting?
if $_POST[‘gpCaption’] is =

It’s my text "quote"

This escaping result of this is:

$gpCaption = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST[‘gpCaption’]);

It\'s my text \"quote\"

And when I insert it in a table, I can see it without a cutoff:

ID FIELD

1 It’s my text "quote"

Here is the sql fiddle test:
