Problem with signle quote..

[Elliott3]

The following is giving me a problem if the variable $pdfFile has a single quote in it like myPDF's.pdf. However, as long as the pdf's name does not have a single quote in it it runs fine?

<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT=&quot;0; URL=../db/<?php echo $pdfFile; ?>&quot;>

Any ideas?

your example does not have an opening double quote...is this correct for the real version?

The opening double quote is right before the '0' and the closing is right before the closing carrot.

The single quote will sometimes be in the variable $pdfFile...Any other thoughts?

This is driving me nuts!!

can this be changed to

echo &quot;<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT=\&quot;0; URL=../db/&quot;.$pdfFile.&quot;\&quot;>&quot;;

I am surprised that this is proving to be a hard one to figure out. Of course i have delt with embeded quotes many times before.

NICE!!

Though it took a while, i solved my problem. Figured the problem out as soon as i started looking into the %20 code for a space in a url.

For this problem you can simply use the rawurlencode() function and it will convert the special characters for you.

Thanks for the attempts!!
