Substite special chars in $name$ placeholder

Can't Post

Hi all,
For a client, we have setup the NM to publish the index file as a php file for advanced features.
For example:
<?php
$name = '$name$';
?>
The problem now is when a single quote is entered in the name field, the php file cannot be parsed because the genereated index file will than look like:
<?php
$name = 'News article name with a quote(')';
?>
Is there a way to subsitute special chars like quotes to theire HTML equivalent?
Thanks for your help!
Joep

Hi Joep.
Thanks for posting!
I can think of a couple different things for you to try.
The first would be to add a \ before each of your single quotes. This will generally cancel out the significance that the character that it’s before. In this case, it would cancel out the fact that a single quote ends a text string.
The second one would be to substitute in the html value for a single quote. It would be ' The single quote should get translated back to a ‘ when it’s being used on a page.
Could you give either of these a shot and let me know how it works out?
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to let me know  .
