Hi all! I want to
save html-formatted text to database, but when I do that it is don't
save html-symbols like < / ' and others
This is how I read article from database for editing:
<p class="Title">??????????? ???????:</p>
<textarea name="EN" cols="90" rows="20" value="<?php echo $articleArr['EN']; ?>" ></textarea>
And this is how I
save it to database:
function UpdateArticle($ArticleID, $ParentName, $Title, $RU, $EN, $UKR)
{
//fetch data from database for dropdown lists
//connect to db or die)
$db = mysql_connect($GLOBALS["gl_dbName"], $GLOBALS["gl_UserName"], $GLOBALS["gl_Password"] ) or die ("Unable to connect");
//to prevenr ????? symbols in unicode - utf-8 coding
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'UTF8'");
mysql_set_charset('utf8');
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8' COLLATE 'utf8_general_ci'");
//select database
mysql_select_db($GLOBALS["gl_adminDatabase"], $db);
$sql = "UPDATE Articles
SET AParentName='".$ParentName."', ATitle='".$Title."', RU='".$RU."', EN='".$EN."', UKR='".$UKR."' WHERE ArticleID='".$ArticleID."';";
//execute SQL-query
$result = mysql_query($sql, $db);
if (!$result)
{
die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}
//close database = very inportant
mysql_close($db);
}
Help me please, how can I
save such texts properly, Thanx!
