select with "/" inside value wont get selected on page reload

Hello Ray,
I upgraded a page from DB1 to DB2.
It remains only a problem:
I have a form that contains a select. The select has these values:
ART 9812/A+ SF
ART 459/A+/NF/1
ART 9620 A+ NF

The form uses the persist data server behaviour, so, when page the reloads or server validation fails the previous selected item should get selected.
This is true on the same page in DB1.
But in DB2 the values contaning the character "/" won't get selected.
If you select the "ART 9620 A+ NF" it works correctly.
If you select the "ART 9812/A+ SF" or "ART 459/A+/NF/1" item, the menu will reset once page reloads.
If you select the "ART 9812/A+ SF" or "ART 459/A+/NF/1" item in DB1, the menu will select the previous item correctly.

Please consider I recreated the select menu from scratch in DB2 to be sure the code is right.

I think there is a problem in the comparison between the selected value and the persist data, in DB2.
Is there something to change to make this work?
TIA

Please attach a copy of the page for me to review the code. If I could get a URL to reproduce and FTP access then I could debug it live and be sure that I get it fixed properly.

Hello Ray, I can only attach the files here.

Try changing:

<?php if (!(strcmp($rs_modelli->getColumnVal("modello_prod"), (WA_getSavedFormValue("persist_data","prodotto_reg"))))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>

to:

<?php if (!(strcmp($rs_modelli->getColumnVal("modello_prod",false), (WA_getSavedFormValue("persist_data","prodotto_reg"))))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>

Hello Ray,
this way it works.
Have I to add the "false" argument manually or there is a plan to include this in a future DB2 build?
TIA

The MySQLi server behaviors have built in Cross Site Scripting protection that will encode characters that can be used maliciously on your site. You can disable it manually with the false argument where you need to.

You could disable it globally in your rsobj.php file, but that is not recommended since the Cross Site Scripting protection is good to maintain in most cases.
