在html中回显引用文本的正确方法

Question

I'm storing text in database like "He can't ...". But when I echo this text, as it is inside HTML markup, browser get's ' as closing of some html element's markup. Which PHP function to use before, to echo safely this type of text inside html markup?

Answer 1

Use htmlentities():

echo "<input type='text' value='" . htmlentities($text, ENT_QUOTES | ENT_HTML401) . "'>";

The ENT_QUOTES flag tells it to convert both single and double quotes to entities (the default is just double quotes).
