I-CRE8Beta Tester

John,

I wrap my form entries like so in DataAssist before entering into the database:

$WA_fieldValuesStr = "".((isset($_POST["title"]))?i8_InsertAlpha($_POST["title"]):"") ."" . "|" . "".((isset($_POST["details"]))?i8_InsertAlpha($_POST["details"]):"") ."" . "|" . "".$WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverFileName"] ."" . "|" . "".((isset($_POST["sortorder"]))?$_POST["sortorder"]:"") ."" . "|" . "".time() ."" . "|" . "".((isset($_POST["title"]))? i8_UrlParameter($_POST["title"]):"") ."";

Where the function i8_InsertAlpha looks like this:

//=Use to insert strings into database==========================================

function i8_InsertAlpha($val) {
$insertVal = htmlentities(trim($val), ENT_QUOTES);
return $insertVal;
}

When you call this value into the page using a recordset you will need to do so like this:

<?php echo html_entity_decode($row_rsDetails['title']); ?>
