Question

when I have a value like this in the database (“foo”)

how can I echo it without any conflict with html code

notice

<input type="text" value="<? echo '"foo"'; ?>" />

the result will be like this

<input type="text" value=""foo"" />

how can I fix it ?

Answer 1

use urlencode
or htmlspecialchars

<a href="<?php echo urlencode($dburl)?>" title="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($dbvalue)?>">link</a>
