Hi, guys. I am a third year student of Psychology from Unizik. I ve been battling with PHP lately. I could ve gone into normal mysql but some people advised me to go into PDO instead.
Now i have a problem that I cant seem to get over for the past 3 days.

what is the wahala? I am trying to mimic Seun (yes, I admire u') by creating a forum via tutorials and all. But i've ran into this - I CANT GET OUT DATA that has apostrophe " ' " from my MYSQL table. I have used htmlspecialchars to no avail.

What do i do?

Any Computer science programmer here can help me. The site is on a demo host http://infobreak./index.php .

This problem comes on when the user clicks on the like button for the comments.

I dont know if i structured this enough for anyone to understand....Just help me

Apostrophe doesn't relate well with mysql

Before you insert, use htmlspecialchars() function on the variable to be inserted, then when you retrieve use htmlspecialchars_decode() function to convert all special characters back
