Escape The Xml?> Characters
This seems to cause a problem as PHP takes the?> to be the end of PHP script. I then get a load of PHP in my XML file that was created. Anyway to escape it? <?php include("DBConnection.php"); // open a file pointer to an RSS file $fp = fopen ("rss.xml", "w"); // Now write the header information fwrite ($fp, "<?xml version=Ƈ.0'?><rss version=ƈ.0'><channel>â€);

Why Is PHP Adding Escape Characters?
I'm making a simple preview function. first page is a text area exactly like the one used to post on this page. Page 2 is a preview. Well, on page 2, it's escaping all the escapable characters for no reason at all. so i type: hello, "person" what is up? I get back this: hello, "person" what is up?

How To Use Escape Characters (particularly #) With $_GET
I don't have a lot of experience using $_GET. I need to know how to pass characters in using the $_GET method. The character I'm having a problem with right now is '#', but I'm sure there are others. Could anyone give me a list of characters that need to be escaped using $_GET, and then also how to use them? Also, could you tell me if any characters simply are not allowed in a get? Example: getData.php?type=edit&user=myName&item=Item#1

Stripos And Escape Characters
I got a problem and i'm stumped. I am using the strripos function to find the position of a string. For example, for finding this string: Type</td><td valign="top" align=left>" the following command worked great: strripos($mystring, "Type</td><td valign="top" align=left"> All I had to do was add the backslashes () before the quatation marks ("). But with this string: Poster</td><td align="left" valign="top"><img src=" No matter what I try, it doesn't find it, although I'm sure its part of the string. This command craps out: strripos($mystring, "Poster</td><td align="left"") But this command works: strripos($mystring, "Poster</td><td") I narrowed it down to the " a" in the word "align" giving me the problems. What am I doing wrong?

Escape Characters In Text Variables
My problem is that I have an admin page with a form that passes text to a mysql db. Anytime I put a ' in the text the script returns an error, and I have to escape the character before it works. here's the code... $maintextdata = $_POST["editmaintext"]; $pagename = $_POST["replacedata"]; echo $pagename; $sqlmaintext = "UPDATE menu SET maintext = '$maintextdata' WHERE linktext = '$pagename' LIMIT 1"; I assumed it had something to do with my syntax, again, but I've tried different ways with no success, and some worse scenarios where i had to escape " and , aswell as '. nearly forgot, the script works fine on another server, could it be a problem with my current server's php version? which is 4.3.11-1.fc2.3.legacy, as far as i know.

ODBC Escape Special Characters
I'm currently trying to figure out how to use ODBC with PHP4 and PHP5 to connect with an Oracle database. The problem that I'm having that I can't seem to find any documenation is how to properly escape special characters in the SQL statements used in the ODBC such as single quotes in the strings. I would imagine there would be something similar to MySQL's mysql_real_escape_string but could not find anything in the docmentation. I thought odbc_prepare handled it for the developers but I guess I was wrong. For example, $sql = "INSERT into MyTable (FNAME, LNAME, IP, SN) VALUES ($fname, $lname, $ip, $sn); $stmt = odbc_prepare($dbh, $sql); $res = odbc_execute($stmt); Does ayone know of some odbc function that handles all the escaping of the special characters?

Deleting Characters In A String?
I looked in the PHP manual and could not find a function to remove characters from a string. Anyone know how? The reason I want to do this is because I need a date retrieved from mySQL to show as follows: 2001.01.01 = January 1, 2001 and the only way I currently know how is to use a function to transform the month returned from mySQL into the month name. However, it will not work corectly because it is an array function and 01 does not equate to 1 in an array apparently. Someone mention to me that there was a function that does this. Can someone tell me what that one is?

How To Take A String And Weed Out Characters That Are Not UTF-8?
What I need to do is find out what characters in a string are not supported by the UTF-8 encoding. The problem arises when someone logs in and uses my php script to create a weblog post. They are presented with a form that has a textarea. If they type in words and then hit submit, then all is fine. But if they write their entry in WordPerfect or Microsoft Word or some such, and copy and paste it, then they might be bringing strange characters into their post. HTML is forgiving and sends out the wrongly encoded characters, which show up on the screen as garbage characters. I've decided that I don't care about this issue. I don't mind garbage characters showing on HTML pages. XML is less forgiving, and because of it, I can not get my RSS output to work. Again, I don't mind garbage characters, but XML is strict and if it runs into a character that is not in the encoding that is declared at the top, then it dies. So what I have to do is, given a string, I have to go through that string and find everything that is not in the UTF-8 encoding. Then I need to turn those characters into something harmless - maybe an ASCII question mark, or something, something in the UTF-8 encoding. But how is this done? Given a string, how does one go through it and find all the characters that are not UTF-8? Clearly, the RSS readers do this easily enough, since they reject my RSS feeds on that ground, but how do I do it too? ....

Trim Characters At The End Of A String
I'm trying to get rid of a block of certain characters at the end of a string, specifically ", <br>". rtrim() is worthless here, because if the character right before the comma is a b, r, or closing > character, it goes too. Is there a command to rtrim() an EXACT STRING and not "any of these characters," or if not, what is the function that trims a specified number of characters from the end of the string? (ie, I want to strip off those last six characters, so if there's a function that works like rtrim(6) or whatever, that will work too.
