OT: php and filepro apostrophe

[Richard D. Williams]

This relates to a previous post about converting apostrophes.  I never 
could get an edit to perform this function.

I have a problem passing apostrophes from a filepro generated text file 
to a php web page.

example:
a field in the text file is D'Alton.
I use php to get read this text field, parse it into php variables.

The text file contains a subject_name of D'Alton.
The apostrophe is there is the filepro text file and after using php 
commands list and split to parse the field values into php variable, the 
php variable contains D'Alton as well.

But, here is the problem.  The html line,
<input type='text' name='subject_name' value='$subject_name'>
result in just the letter D in the text box.  Everything after the 
apostrophe and the apostrophe is gone.

I tried using addslashes to convert the php variable subject_name value 
to D\'Alton.  But it just result with D\ being placed into the html text 
box.

Does anyone have any suggestions.

This is very urgent,

Richard D. Williams
