when my webhost upgraded their servers they must have changed certain PHP settings which affect how apostrophes are handled when inserting strings into a database. I will try to get the issue resolved, but in the meantime, everybody just leave apostrophes out of their posts -- Strunk and White would approve.

Test

Aha

#87 posted by pushplay on 2003/04/16 22:32:37

Use backslash apostrophe: \'

Test?

#88 posted by Kell on 2003/04/17 07:03:21

wouldn't

YARR!

Could've guessed that by myself... So it's just a matter of addslashes() and stripslashes(). Go metlslime, go!

my code worked THIS way until they changed the PHP handling of single quotes on me.

Func_Msgboard "Eating" Posts

#92 posted by R.P.G. on 2003/04/22 17:14:55

People seem to be saying that Func_Msgboard is "eating" posts. I haven't experienced any eating, but it does give a DNS error when you use an apostrophe. If that happens, just use the "back" button on your browser and then remove the apostrophes!

Yep

#93 posted by underworldfan on 2003/04/22 18:11:03

the "eating posts" problem seems to be getting quite common, any ideas metlslime?

it allways works fine for me, BTW.

actually, looking above seems like RPG [maybe?] already has the answer??

Also

#94 posted by underworldfan on 2003/04/22 18:11:56

i wonder if its something to do with the length of the post, seems to only happen to people on long posts??

Yes, It Does Have To Do With Long Posts

#95 posted by R.P.G. on 2003/04/22 18:43:23

Longer posts mean that it's more likely that you're going to use apostrophes.

haha ;)

That kind of logic could get you in trouble.

Use Mozilla

#97 posted by pushplay on 2003/04/22 23:14:01

Moz just doesn't take me to another page when my post has 's, so I just keeping hunting them down and changing them.

IE Works Too

#98 posted by metlslime on 2003/04/22 23:29:26

for me at least.

#99 posted by bascule on 2003/04/23 05:33:24

this doesn't work

Oh!

#100 posted by bascule on 2003/04/23 05:33:44

yes it does

Test

#101 posted by daftpunk on 2003/04/23 17:57:47

oi, why can YOU post apostrophes. i cant.

fuck that!

Try Using..

#102 posted by GibFest on 2003/04/23 18:04:13

the console key next to the number 1 on your keyboard.

can`t | won`t | isn`t | i`m

Or Do Like This:

#103 posted by R.P.G. on 2003/04/23 18:12:19

Use this instead, but remove the space: '

Read up a bit to see that trick.

Err, Right

#104 posted by R.P.G. on 2003/04/23 18:12:50

Use BACKSLASH then APOSTROPHE with no spaces.

Escape Your Apostrophe

#105 posted by pushplay on 2003/04/23 18:24:33

Apostrophe: \'
Backslash: \\

#106 posted by Wazat on 2003/04/23 18:41:06

Try a backslash before each apostrophy.

The reason the "messageboard eating posts" thing is such a problem is related to the apostrophy, yes. The killer comes when you push back and the text box is empty...

Ah, Yes

#107 posted by Wazat on 2003/04/23 18:42:09

Pushplay and company beat me to it while I was fighting the dns error myself. :)

Why

#108 posted by pushplay on 2003/04/23 19:02:08

...does IE empty out a text box when you leave a page? That's stupid.

Heh

#109 posted by Kell on 2003/04/23 19:03:34

Now there's irony for ya

btw, if you phear losing your carefully typed out post to the evile backbutton, try typing it out in notepad first :P
