PHP - Problem With Quotation Marks
I am having a problem with my code and would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction. Please see my code below:
<?php
$dbcon = mysqli_connect('localhost','user','','videos');
$sql='SELECT * FROM videos';
$result = mysqli_query($dbcon, $sql);
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($result);
$image = $row['image'];
$title = $row['title'];
$description = $row['description'];
echo '<a href="#">
<div class="thumb" style="background-image: url("' . $image . '");"></div>
</a>
</div>
<div class="column-content">
<p class="column-title">Latest Video</p>
<p class="column-heading"><a href="#">' . $title . '</a></p>
<div class="video-description">
<p>' . $description . '</p>'
mysqli_close($dbcon);
?>
Now the connection to the database works, also the title and description is fine too. The problem is with the image. I cannot get it to display and I'm sure it has something to do with the quotation marks but I don't know in what order they should be. If I just use html the code for the image would be : <div class="thumb" style="background-image: url('image.jpg');"></div> with just a single quotation around the image url. Any help would be much appreciated.
Tony Similar TutorialsHi everyone, I am having a problem with using quotation marks / apostrophe with php and mysql. If I enter the following lines in mysql. "user's resume" when I do a query from mysql i get back " User\'s resume" it's adding a slash before the apostrophe. How can I fix this ? Thanks. Hi all... once again I am trying to re-educate my self into PHP after a long gap. I do not have a problem as such just a question... here is part of my script that doesnot work; <? $sql= "INSERT INTO member ( username, ) VALUES ( \"$_SESSION['nm_username']\", \"$_SESSION['nm_email']\" )"; ?> The above errors because there are single quotation marks in the session variables. When I remove them the script works and the values of the variables seem to be correct! My question is - do I NEED the quotation marks in the variable and if so how should I write the query? Regards Hi, I am somewhat new to PHP but I have a little experience. I am having trouble coding this script to set variables with extra quotations and replacing some exploded strings. Here is the script. Code: [Select] <?php $ToCutDown = "[{"parentMessageId":-1,"message":"%3Ca%20href%3D%27%23%27%20class%3D%27standardLink%27%20onclick%3D%27showMobStats%28674542538%29%3B%27%3Eaka%20Bubbles%3C%2Fa%3E%20broadcast%20a%20message%3A%20%3Cfont%20color%3D%27red%27%3E%22Place%20Bounty%20on%20%26quot%3Baka%20Bubbles%26quot%3B%20%28Minimum%20of%20%2418%2C107%2C899%2C000%29%22%3C%2Ffont%3E%2E","id":28152301,""; $Exploded = explode("[{"parentMessageId":-1,"message":"", $ToCutDown); $Exploded = explode(","id":28152301,"", $Exploded[0]); $Exploded = urldecode($Exploded[1]); $StringReplace = str_replace("<a href='#' class='standardLink' onclick='showMobStats(674542538);'>", "", $Exploded); ?> So I'm trying to work with specific strings that have quotation marks in them (Which cannot be removed) & I'm having a hard time using them in variables and in any function that requires you to choose parameters with either ' ' or " ". Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks MOD EDIT: [code] . . . [/code] tags added. hello, i have this text file attached, and I am currently extracting the data from it. and yeah, I know how..but the problem is the double quotation marks. the last double quotation mark doesn't go away,,,am also aware that trim() only accepts strings. but how come, it does remove the first double quotation mark and leave the 2nd one. here's my script, feel free to download the file and try my script in your own localhost and tell me what's wrong . Thanks in advance $fh = fopen('iso3166.txt','r'); while(!feof($fh)) { $lines = fgets($fh); $parts = explode(",",$lines); print trim($parts[1],'"')."<br />"; } fclose($fh); I embed videos on my site. I submit the embed codes to my database using a form. The codes look like this:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/xDIgbjDGsOM?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Before I submit each code, I have to change its width and height, and I have to add this: &showinfo=0after this: ?rel=0Is there a function that will allow me to do all of that simultaneously? I know about str_ireplace(). It will let me replace ?rel=0 with ?rel=0&showinfo=0, but I don't know how to simultaneously make the other changes. It's not helping that the embed code includes quotation marks. i have this code: <input onclick='window.location.href="http://www.computerhope.com"' class='button_inline' type='button' name='view' value='View' /> Which is perfectly fine if it wasn't because it is being echoed in php, and then the double quotes f**k up. An easy fix? I have the " or the ' all wrong. Can someone tell me how to do the quoation marks correctly so I dont get a syntax error: as can be seen, the date 10/5/14 is not a variable but I want to convert it to a format that can go into a DATE field. Code: [Select] $query = "update table set expir_date = date("Y-m-d", 10/5/14) where id = '$id' "; I made a template class recently and the only problem I'm having with it is that when I pull the HTML through if I add double quotes anywhere it breaks the code. I understand why its breaking sorta but I can't figure out how to fix it. Code: (HTML) [Select] <html> <head> </head> <body> <p id='Element'>"Something in quotes"</p> </body> </html> Code: (PHP) [Select] $string = $template->myMethod();//Returns the html in a string eval("\$HTML = \"$string\";"); //The error happens during the evaluation here echo($HTML); The string breaks with double quotes during the eval method and I've tried replacing the " mark with \" by using str_replace but i haven't been able to get it to work. Thanks for your replies I imagine there are lots of ways to answer this question, so I just want people's opinions as to the best way (if there is one). I have code with a basic form that submits data to a MySQL database. So when someone submits data the first time, I "clean it up" by doing... Code: [Select] $_POST['data'] = trim(mysql_prep($_POST['data'])); .. and then submit that info into a "varchar" mySQL field. Then if the user comes back to edit it, the form comes up and the data they previously entered is pulled into the field this way (I'm leaving out the MySQL to pull the data, obviously)... Code: [Select] <input type="text" name="field" value="<?php echo $data;?>"> The problem is that if someone entered this originally... Code: [Select] Here is "some" data with apostrophes ...Then when I echo that back into the value of the text field, it would only show... Code: [Select] Here is "...and then cuts off because the quotation mark in the data conflicted with the quotation mark after value= Is htmlentities the answer here, or is there some other/better way? FYI... Code: [Select] function mysql_prep($value) { $magic_quotes_active = get_magic_quotes_gpc(); $new_enough_php = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ; //i.e. PHP >= v4.3.0 if($new_enough_php) { //PHP v4.3.0 or higher //undo any magic quote effects so mysql_real_escape_string can do the work if($magic_quotes_active) { $value = stripslashes($value) ;} $value = mysql_real_escape_string($value); } else { //before php v4.3.0 // if magic quotes aren;t already on then add slashes manually if(!magic_quotes_active) { $value = addslashes($value); } // if magic quotes are active, then the slashes already exist } return $value; } Hi ppl, I have problem in preparing the sql statement which requires attribrute from another sql statement. This is the scenario as in PHP code. $sql1="SELECT attrb1 from table1"; $sql2="SELECT attrb2 fromt table2 where attrb3=".$sql['attrb1']"; What and where is the correct placement of these s'quotes or d'quotes should be? Please help. Thank you. So I ran into the most bizarre problem ever on my live server. For some odd reason something, somewhere is adding an extra character after every " mark I have. Now I am using zend framework but this can not be an issue involving them since everything works perfectly on my localhost. I am using 1and1 to host my application but for the love of me I can not narrow this down any more. Ex of my problem, I type this into my text box: "This is a sentence" and it proceeds to saving this: \"This is a sentence\" Something is happening right after I submit my form because if I add the code directly in my database, it displays everything fine. Has any one ever ran into this problem before? Hey, I've created a messaging system for my site and I'm trying to make it so that a copy of the original message is included and automatically put into the message content box when somebody clicks to reply. I've done this literally just by making the "reply" button into a form which also posts the content of the message from the previous page and puts it into the content box. However I have some issues with it: firstly, wherever ' is used, it becomes \' and wherever " is used, the whole of the rest of the message is blanked out. Can anybody point me in the direction of the solutions I might need to make it so that ' and " both appear normally without cutting the rest of the message off? Thanks in advance & let me know if anything is missing! While playing with some code, I wrote these few lines of script. $_SESSION["favcolor"] = green; echo "Session variable is ". $_SESSION["favcolor"] ;
I tested the code and everything worked fine. I corrected the code $_SESSION["favcolor"] = "green"; But when I tested it, the page would not open/load.
Then I removed the quote marks and restored the line to it's original state $_SESSION["favcolor"] = green; And things worked fine.
Shouldn't the quote marks be required? Hello, I have a script coded in PHP and alot of JavaScript and I have problems with languages like Arabic and Hebrew ( non Latin characters) .. It is showed as question marks in the website like this ( ?????????) and in the database .. I converted the SQL Database from Latin Swedish to UTF-8 in phpmyadmin and now the database is correct but the website is still in question marks . In every HTML code you can see this : ........... content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> and I tried changing the same php pages to UTF-8 using text editors but nothing happened . any help will be great. thanks. Hi all, I have an issue on a form that when it gets submitted a slash '/' appears before every quote symbol. I had help solving the issue on one of the fields (the name field), but then later it was discovered that the slashes appear in all the fields whenever a quote was used (agreed, poor testing). Can someone be so good to help me solve this? My php knowledge is not so great which is exactly why I'm asking here Please see my code below. If this problem can be solved in the same manner as the name field was solved, then there are 2 files which will need the edits. They are below: (some trivial information purposely removed for security reasons) preview.php <div id="card"> <img id="logo" src="logo.jpg" /> <div id="card1"><?php echo stripslashes($_REQUEST['text1']); ?> </div> <div id="card2"><?php echo $_REQUEST['text2']; ?> </div> <div id="card3"><?php echo $_REQUEST['text3']; ?> </div> <?php if($_REQUEST['text4'] != '' && $_REQUEST['text5'] != '') $text = $_REQUEST['text4'].' • '.$_REQUEST['text5']; else $text = $_REQUEST['text4'].$_REQUEST['text5']; ?> <div id="card4"><?php echo $text; ?> </div> <div id="card5"><?php echo $_REQUEST['text6']; ?> </div> </div> second_form.php <?php session_start(); $db_host = 'localhost'; $db_name = ''; $db_user = ''; $db_pass = ''; $admin_email = "admin@aserver.com"; if(isset($_REQUEST['text1'])) $_REQUEST['text1'] = stripslashes($_REQUEST['text1']); $from = 'orders@mycompany.com'; if($_REQUEST['count'] != '50' && $_REQUEST['count'] != '100') { header( 'Location: order.php' ); die(); } $card_number = trim($_REQUEST['card_number']); $card_security = $_REQUEST['card_security']; $card_exp_m = sprintf("%02d",((int)$_REQUEST['car_exm_m'])%100); $card_exp_y = sprintf("%02d",((int)$_REQUEST['car_exm_y'])%100); $count = $_REQUEST['count']; $shipping = 8.65; $price = $shipping; switch($count) { case 50: $price += 25; break; case 100: $price += 38; break; } //$price = 0.01; //$shipping = 0.01; $price = sprintf("%0.2f",$price); $fd_xsd = 'http://***'; $v1_xsd = 'http://***'; $a1_xsd = 'https://***'; //$email_rep = str_replace('@','[at]',$_REQUEST['text4']); $soap = <<<SOAP <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <SOAP-ENV:Header /> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <fdggwsapi:FDGGWSApiOrderRequest xmlns:fdggwsapi="$fd_xsd" xmlns:v1="$v1_xsd"> <v1:Transaction> <v1:CreditCardTxType> <v1:Type>sale</v1:Type> </v1:CreditCardTxType> <v1:CreditCardData> <v1:CardNumber>$card_number</v1:CardNumber> <v1:ExpMonth>$card_exp_m</v1:ExpMonth> <v1:ExpYear>$card_exp_y</v1:ExpYear> </v1:CreditCardData> <v1:Payment> <v1:ChargeTotal>$price</v1:ChargeTotal> <v1:Shipping>$shipping</v1:Shipping> </v1:Payment> <v1:Billing> <v1:Name>{$_REQUEST['text1']} - {$_REQUEST['text2']} - {$_REQUEST['text3']}</v1:Name> <v1:Email>{$_REQUEST['text4']}</v1:Email> <v1:Phone>{$_REQUEST['text5']}</v1:Phone> <v1:Address2>{$_REQUEST['text5']}</v1:Address2> <v1:Address1>{$_REQUEST['text6']}</v1:Address1> </v1:Billing> <v1:Shipping> <v1:Name>{$_REQUEST['info_name']}</v1:Name> <v1:Address1>{$_REQUEST['info_street']} {$_REQUEST['info_APT']}</v1:Address1> <v1:City>{$_REQUEST['info_city']}</v1:City> <v1:State>{$_REQUEST['info_state']}</v1:State> <v1:Zip>{$_REQUEST['info_zip']}</v1:Zip> </v1:Shipping> </v1:Transaction> </fdggwsapi:XXXApiOrderRequest> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> SOAP; // echo htmlentities($soap); $link = "https://ws.firstdataglobalgateway.com/****"; $store_id = "***"; $user_id = "***"; $pass = "***"; $key_pass = "***"; $uss_pass = ('WS'.$store_id.'***:'.$pass); $path = "/home/hoster/ssl_firstdata/"; $pem_path = $path .

This works fine when the text is just standard text - for example "the cat is on the mat". But if I put in "the cat's on the mat" - then the speach mark throws an error up! Is there any way around this? Thanks Matt Guys thanks for helping me solve the problem i had but now i have another problem and i am lost. i have included the code below for you to have overview.
This is the code:
<table style="width:100%; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto"> Elo, I'm creating a very simple image list that is function generated which pulls the source from a table in my database, this is my code Code: [Select] $output = "<ul>"; $img_src = get_all_image_src($sel_event['id']); while($src = mysql_fetch_array($img_src)) { for($i=0;$i <= 9; $i++) { $output .= "<li>"; $output .= "<a"; $output .= " class ='album'"; $output .= " rel='group'"; $output .= " href='/images/gallery/'" . $src['img_src'] . $i; $output .= ".jpg"; $output .= " title='sample 1'"; $output .= ">"; //Image Thumb $output .= "<img"; $output .= " src='/images/gallery/'"; $output .= $src['img_thumb_src']. $i . ".jpg"; $output .= "alt='image01' "; $output .= "title='sample title' />"; $output .= "tae"; $output .= "</a>"; $output .= "</li>"; } } $output .= "</ul>"; return $output; and the img src doesnt seems to add up... my folder structure is Sandbox>image>gallery>2011>Mall>Event>Thumbs where Sandbox is the main directory. i tried echoing the $src['img_src'] and it displays correctly the data to be added (which is 2011/Mall/Event/ plus $i and a .jpg) .. sorry noob here... any thoughts? am i missing a simple detail? im making a website it works fine on firefox but on ie doesnt work correctly. page looks weird i see the error is <? include("index/index_files/front/php/include.php"); ?> anyone can help me its in a <html> tab. |
