Small Apostrophe problem Can't Post
I have a small problem which is driving me crazy! My clients website is in both english & french. One of my text fields includes data in this format (french):

Patron d'honneur

When displayed on the website page, it displays like this:

Patron d

Is there anyway to have the complete data field printed (after the ')?

Thanx........ragi

Hi,

You can also try htmlspecialcharacters like this:

Code
<?php htmlspecialchars($record['field']);?>

Hope this helps
