    i have a php string that holds the value of a name. so it could possibly be something like o'connor etc. i know of the stripslashes($str) function which is fine and it gets rid of the value on the current page so that when you're doing searches in SQL databases it checks them correctly. however i need to put this same value into a link for previous and next pages. currently i have

    echo "<a href='employee.php?kw=".($name)."&dpt_id=".($dpt)."&sortby=".($sortby)."&page=".(page +1)."'class='text>Next>></a>";

    for the link to each next page


    but if you put in o'c as the value for the $name value then o\'c is now the value. Now the backslash is part of the $name and stops everything to the right of o\



    can #%39; help with this and how is it implemented?

    replace ' with %27

    You need to do a URL Encode. Not sure of the exact command in PHP is but it's definately there.

    When you use urlencode, it replaces the ' with %27. There's loads of them for spaces, underscores, etc.

    See: http://php.net/urlencode

    Rgds,
