broken by 's

Hi

I think I isolated why I wasn't receiving a form's data, in the <textarea> the user had input the word - position's

Removing that apostrophe before the S allowed the form through.

Hang on, I can be more exact.

The email still came through with a apostrophe-S word, however the data didn't appear in the backend. What was causing this. Is it ok for me to set the <textarea> to be LONGTEXT in the db? Is not apostrophe-S escaped?

Why does apostrophe-S seem to break receiving the form data in the backend?

Kind Regards Rob

PS. Am going to attempt to setup a form that can take user uploads now...<br><br>Post edited by: GreyHead, at: 2008/02/07 10:06

Hi Rob,

This is a known bug with some settings of Magic Quotes. Please have a look at this thread there is a fix in message #4722.
