I use a web form to receive emails through this page: http://www.mindreality.com/contact.html The problem is that when users type in the quotation marks " or ' It gets passed through as some funny format. How do I edit the code to make sure all special characters that converted properly and passed to my inbox?
I don't know what script you are using for e-mails but when it's written in php... then \" this will show the quotation mark... And also \', \$ and many more...
I'm using the form mail clone script. The one that is provided by the cpanel. I have no idea how to get the quotation characters working properly.
Hello, MindReality. Double or single quotes are many times filtered or masked when input to CGI scripts due to security reasons. If you have access to the script code, that is you can modify it, then you may change this behaviour. Otherwise, I don't know what you can do, except writing some JavaScript that replace the quotes with something else. If this issue is very important to you, you should get another script or tell your visitors to not use quotes.
