how preserve the content of the text box
I have used get method in my form and retrieving the content of text box in
$value using:
Code:
$buffer = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'};
($name,$value)=split(/=/,$buffer);

Now I want to preserve my text box:
I had tried:
Code:
print "<form action='/cgi-bin/abcd.cgiv' method='get'>";
  print "<input name='search' size =30 value='$value'>";
print "<\/form>";

Now wen i write therock'ravi

the text box only shows therock and it removes everything after ' (including ')..

any solution...

thanx

Hi.

Not sure. Is that a single quote in your input?

Perhaps you need to use "addslashes" on $value to escape that.

Hi.

Sorry, I thought it was PHP. I do need new glasses Smilie

My meaning was to escape the single quote:

i.e.
Code:
$value =~ s/'/\\'/g;

Try the HTML code for '
Code:
value =~ s/'/& #39;/g

(without the space between & and #)
