asp_databases thread: Problems with the ' character when submitting a form


Message #1 by "Dean" <spinout@i...> on Sun, 20 Jan 2002 14:56:17
Hi There

Does anyone know of a way to get around the problem of SQL statement's 

failing then a user enters the ' character in to a form. This character 

obviously is used in the SQL statement itself and therefore screws up the 

statement if the user uses it in their form submission. How can I fix this 

problem?



Many thanks for your help.



Dean.

You can:



A: Do a replace on all strings for " ' " and escape them... (double them up to

a " '' ")

or

B: Use Command Objects and Parameter Objects... they will handle the problem

for you "automagically".

However if u mean while inserting data in database from front-end then u can

use the validation of form then use the insert,update,delete statements..

 then ur problem will be solved.

That's funny... no one else seemed to have any problem understanding the

question.  :)
