Hi,

I am searching for some step by step guide to help me trouble shoot this funny character that appear whenever there is file uploaded into my server. Eg :-

1. Filename--> Son's Birthday become -> Son\'sBirthday

 

After searching thru php.net , I realized that it is due to apache or server side configuration to tell the server to read this so-called "escape character" properly when parsing them.

 

The problem is...I am not programmer ! I don't get what the tutorial or guides trying to tell me. I am still stuck with this. At the moment, I try not to use file with these escape character.

 

But...is there a step by step guide??

Thanks

In php if you want you need to escape the ' character with a backslash '\'...

 

So if I wanted to print out the string "Son's Birthday Welcome" I'd do...

 

<?php
echo 'Son\'s Birthday Welcome';
?>

 

Other wise, the ' before the s on "Son's" would be treated as the end of the string.

 

Hope this helps you?
