Hi Ken, Bill and all
Na!
First, as a web interface you should be using PHP 3.x, you are right?
OK, that said, do this:
$chktext = ereg_replace("'", "''", $chktext);
That will take every ' in the data, and replace it with '' (2 ') which is
how you escape a ' in PostgreSQL (and all SQL?).
Hope that helps, have a great day
Terry
