The problem is that the pages are sometimes being rendered in the browser with quotes and other characters escaped. Here's a small example; \'They seemed very, very close\', one witness claimed.\" The pages are here ; http://members.evolt.org/dbo/rumours/rumours.php The field in question is stored as data type text. I'm new to PHP, so any advice or suggestions on how to fix this are appreciated. cheers, -- ===================================================== Duncan O'Neill "Smith The Reporter" http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~dbaxo/urban_legend.htm ===================================================== -- For unsubscribe and other options, including the Tip Harvester and archive of thelist go to: http://lists.evolt.org Workers of the Web, evolt ! --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
