7 replies
Hi there, altering a php script to work in a foreign language and i need help!

eg i have this line
if(!checkLen('nom'))
$err[]='The name field is too short or empty!';

i want to put something like d'el in the $err[]='area' however of course when i put in the d'el it seems to the script that i am closing off the statement
eg
$err[]='es d'el';

any one help me

thanks again you guys you rock (as always)

    Try
    $err[]='es d\'el';

    or

    $err[]="es d'el";

          you could also try pasting the whole chunk of code.

          Whatever you have between <? and ?> .

          in case something else is wrong with the script.

        The sign escapes the ' so it will be uesd as a letter in the text and not be used in the code.
        You can also do " to "escape" a quote sign.
        Escape sequences do not work when the string is enclosed by single quotes.

          That's true, with one exception: escaping the single quote itself. You can't escape other things, like newlines, for example, without using double quotes.
