Too complicated for me

Hi y'all

Expert help needed

Trying to recover from an eval hack after I cleaned and restored I am slowly trying to solve the few problems it has left behind. One of these is when adding a new box page, the program now recognises every apostrophe in the "Put text here" section with the error message"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING "so can anybody tell me how to stop this.Can I repair the files or maybe can I insert any code to prevent this or do I just remove every apostrophe...

Muchas gracias

I have not got a clue what you are talking about, where or what.

You are not rather specific. Are you talking about a form on your website, or the program code itself?

 

If the last, a text string is defined between apostrophes:

like:

"PUT TEXT HERE''''''" //the '''' won't break the string
'PUT TEXT HERE"""""' // the """" won't break the string

 

alternatively you can escape them:

"PUT TEXT HERE\"\""  //the \" won't break the string
'PUT TEXT HERE\'\'""""'  //the \' won't break the string

 

so when a text string starts with ' you need to escape all ' that you want in the string.

when a string starts with " you need to escape all " that you want in the string.

 

below some examples, the striped through parts are outside of a string and will return the error:

'I write comma's a lot!'

'I write comma\'s a lot!'

"I write comma's a lot!"

"When I write that something is "funny" with quotes around it, I mean something different then when I don't put quotes around it."

"When I write that something is \"funny" with quotes around it, I mean something different then when I don't put quotes around it."

"When I write that something is \"funny\" with quotes around it, I mean something different then when I don't put quotes around it."

'When I write that something is "funny" with quotes around it, I mean something different then when I don't put quotes around it.'

'When I write that something is "funny" with quotes around it, I mean something different then when I don\'t put quotes around it.'
