php and filepro apostrophe

[Richard D. Williams]

Gentleman,

I found the solution.

First of all I must use addslashes to use php to get the data out to 
filepro.
I really don't care if the data sits in filepro as D\'Alton.  I can 
probably figure a way around that.

But, when the data comes back to the web page via filepro export and php 
read of the text file, I can use this:

$rdw1 = htmlspecialchars($requestor_name);$requestor_name = $rdw1;$rdw1 
= '';

Once this is applied I can then successfully use the:
<input type=\"text\" name=\"requestor_name\" value=\"$requestor_name\">

Thanks for your help,

Richard
