Problem passing strings with PHP post
- by andy
Hi Guys,
Basically I'm developing a (very) simple search engine. You can enter a search term and you are taken to the results page - which works fine. However on the results page, I have a button that will take you to the next 10 results: where $term is the $_POST['term'] value.
echo "<input type='hidden' name='term' value='" . $term . "'>";
This causes the following problem with the term is for example "aidan's".
When the next 10 button is clicked, the term becomes aidan\ and no further results are found.
I am not doing anything to $term.
I usually use Java, but am required to use PHP for this uni assignment!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
