I am trying to enable users to update sections of the site easily. I have managed to get the RTE set up so that it can submit data into the database. However, when I try and retrieve it to edit it the RTE just dissapears.
How can I sort this out?

you may have to do addslashes or htmlentities (<spelling?) to fix that problem. That is if it only dissapears when anything with single quotes is extracted from the db then there's your problem, and the above to PHP functions should fix it.

I found this code on another website that apparently fixes this problem, but I am unsure of how to incorporate it. Here is what I found:

function rteSafe($strText) { 
   //returns safe code for preloading in the RTE 
   $tmpString = $strText; 
    
   //convert all types of single quotes 
   $tmpString = str_replace(chr(145), chr(39), $tmpString); 
   $tmpString = str_replace(chr(146), chr(39), $tmpString); 
   $tmpString = str_replace("'", "'", $tmpString); 
    
   //convert all types of double quotes 
   $tmpString = str_replace(chr(147), chr(34), $tmpString); 
   $tmpString = str_replace(chr(148), chr(34), $tmpString); 
//   $tmpString = str_replace("\"", "\"", $tmpString); 
    
   //replace carriage returns & line feeds 
   $tmpString = str_replace(chr(10), " ", $tmpString); 
   $tmpString = str_replace(chr(13), " ", $tmpString); 
    
   return $tmpString; 
}//function rteSafe($strText) 

use the above function, which basically replaces problematic characters from the content before being input in the x.html variable


use it like this :

<rteSafe> 

Can anyone tell me how I would set up this code, ie where I would put it. Thanks

I've hooked up RTE to add content to my database.

Question is, How do I $_GET the data out so that it can be editted? What do I use? I'm new at this so I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance.

How did you get it to submit to the database? Would you mind posting some code.

Because it's a lot of data that might be in the post, use the POST method ... then the post will be hidden in a POST variable instead of using the GET method and having everything urlencoded in the address bar

<form method='post' action=''>
<textarea name='content'><?php echo rteSafe($content_string); ?>here</textarea>
<br>
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit'>
</form>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])){
  //write $content string to database
}
?>

Does this help you? I don't mind helping with this topic as I have been working on these issues for a while.

Hi,

Use this code in your php
$content_string=addslashes(preg_replace('`[\r\n]`','',$content_string));

In internet explorer when I type:

<div id="4"></div>


Then the "" disappears and I get

<div id=4></div>


Is there a way that I can keep these "" qoutes with div and also class ?

thx in advance!
