Question

handling single and double quotes while fetching and printing in the page

Answer 1

+1 A:

If you know there will be a single quote, why don't you use double quotes in the first place?

"...<img src=\"/school/schoolpicdisplay.php?p1={$brand}&p2={$model}\"..."

However, since your $model is going to be in a parameter string, you should rawurlencode it.

$encoded_model = rawurlencode($model);
$encoded_alias = rawurlencode($alias);
$myresult .= "<a href='Schools/{$encoded_alias}'>...p1={$encoded_brand}&p2={$encoded_model}...";

@pradeep: (1) edit your question if it went wrong. (2) see update.

okie the rawurlencode worked . is there no other way to tackle this problem ?

pradeep 2010-03-03 13:56:30

@pradeep: There are tons of other escaping functions but `urlencode` or `rawurlencode` are the most suitable in your case.

@pradeep: Yes it will. If that's not a query component you can use `htmlentities` instead.

KennyTM 2010-03-08 17:57:59

its a url component only! but its not handling it . its taking it like a path rather than a single variable!

pradeep 2010-03-09 02:56:40

any solutiion to this problem where in the variable with '/' in url is giving problem!
