"&"

[glenn]

the "&" is killing my guestbook view - (nothing returns in the viewer after the character)

in the guestbook script, there are these strings to comment out (replace) certain characters:

  $Website = eregi_replace("http://", "", $Website);
  $Website = ereg_replace("&[^A-Za-z0-9 \@\.\-\/\'\~\:]", "", $Website);

  $Name = stripslashes($Name);
  $Email = stripslashes($Email);
  $Website = stripslashes($Website);
  $Comments = stripslashes($Comments);

the character "&" is killing my guestbook view when people use it, and i have not been able to comment it out, with attempts like so:

  $Website = eregi_replace("http://", "", $Website);
  $Website = ereg_replace("&[^A-Za-z0-9 \@\.\-\/\'\~\:]", "", $Website);
*$Comments = eregi_replace("&", "", $Comments);

  $Name = stripslashes($Name);
  $Email = stripslashes($Email);
  $Website = stripslashes($Website);
  $Comments = stripslashes($Comments);

can someone help?

Well, you are looking at changing it through php.  Here is another easy fix, if for some odd reason you lines of php fail to rem the amperstand out then just open your fla.....just go to the input textboxes and in the embedded font outline....just block out the amperstand.  That should be really easy and work for you no problem.  Now unfortunately all of the amperstands and symbols that have passed by and are entered into your guestbook already must be removed manually.
