When I want to execute a SQL statement (as we all know) certain characters will cause an error. You can't execute a statement with a " in one of the parameters or else the command will stop short and result in an error.
Let's say for example that I'm trying to update a field named "code" and the value of the field "code" is: Code:
I am getting a bug with regards to submitting an ASP form. Here's the scenario:
I am entering info in a form and calling an ASP page to process it. I am collecting info from the fields like so Code:
I’ve a form with a textbox called Message. When visitor enters text, I use Replace function to handle an apostrophe code that will receive the text and store in the database.
It works fine.
When I try to retrieve the text message, it doesn’t show what I’ve in the DB, but it displays, for example: I?m. It supposes to display as “I’m”
I did try:
<%message= Replace(trim(RS("message")),"'","''")%>
<td><p><%=message%></p></td>
I know this is a very commonly asked question, but I can't find a solution
anywhere that I have looked.
I need to take the text that will be typed in paragraph form by the user
(textarea field) and do two things with it:
1. Store it in a SQL Server database field
2. Send it in an email upon page submit.
Of course, single quotes have caused problems, so I have this code:
strInternalDesc =
Replace(Trim(Request.Form("InternalDesc")),"'","''")
Problem is, it shows up like this in the email that is sent:
==============================
We''re in the process of
==============================
I would like to get rid of the double apostrophes, but not sure how. Went to
an article on ASPFAQ, and saw something which directed me to do this:
strInternalDesc =
Replace(Trim(Request.Form("InternalDesc")),"'",chr(34))
However, that just makes it a regular double-quote. I guess I could try and
find out what the character number for apostrophes are, but not sure where
that is. Besides, will that mess up my SQL Server or the email if I do that?
i have a textarea in my form, and it worked. but if the input text contains apostrophe, i would get sth like this:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Driverserror '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression ''rtert'','Judy Nadia Jolonius');'. /saveRemarks.asp, line 195
how can i make asp ignore the apostrophe?
I know a few ways to handle an apostrophe, but am at a loss for which i should use for this. The ways I know how to deal with it are.
alias = Replace(Request.form("alias"), "'", "''")
alias = Replace(Request.form("alias"), "'", " & #39; ")
The name of the field is self explanitory. When the admin searches for a person using the "'" , " ' ' " method they find the user. But when ever we display that info anyware it has the O''conner setup. Code:
I'm trying to query a database where some records contain apostrophes in them. Is there an effective way to do this?
View Replies View RelatedI am running into a very common problem that i cannot seem to find a solution for. I have an access database with a text field. Some of the records will contain an apostrophe. i have used the replace method to escape the apostrophe and turn it into ~~~. I can sucessfully change that back to an apostrophe everywhere but a text box. Here is my code:
response.write "<input type=text name=title" & icount & " value='" & replace(rs("title") ,"~~~", "'") &"' size=55><br>"
Below is the code I use to send data from form to database. Problem is if an apostrophe is entered in cQuestion field or any field for that matter the form errors out. Code:
View Replies View RelatedI currently have a simple html page that consists of a text box and submit button. A user supplies a quote in the text box and presses the submit button. When the submit button is pressed the quote is added to a ‘Quote’ table in an MS Access database.
This works perfectly well, however if a quote contains an apostrophe, such as … this won’t work… It will not add to the database. If I had typed in …this wont work… It would be added to the database with no problems. Code:
how to add the symbol ' (Apostrophe) to the code so that the validation accepts this within a surname such as o'neill? this is wot i hav at the minute:
With regExName
.Pattern = "^[a-z]+$"
.IgnoreCase = true
.Global = true
End With
how to accept ' or apostrophe when adding on the database? because I created a simple guestbook and when i tested it it works fine but once i add apostrophe like TOY'S etc it generates error.
View Replies View RelatedI am having a problem with the apostrophe not showing up correctly when doing a mysql query and returning the data.
I am using a function to keep apostrophes from causing the queries to fail and the data that does get displayed to the user (html) turns out right 90% of the time but on a certain page it displayes the apostrophy twice instead of once. Here are the relevant pieces of code:
I am using a Replace function to replace single quotes with double when
submitting a text field in the database i.e. Replace (q, "'", "' ' ")
which works fine. When I retrieve the field from the database which has
apostrophe I am getting 'Object expected' error message. Is there a
way to fix this?
Isn't there some line of code that I can write to tell ASP to treat everything between BLAH and /BLAH as text (including the apostrophe). So that users can type a name of "O'Malley" in a form and I can retrieve it and store it in my database.
View Replies View RelatedWhat is the correct data type to use if the phrase I'm saving to my table contains an apostrophe such as in the phrase "yesterda's news". I've tried "text" data type, I've tried "varchar" and "char". They all give me bugs when I save to the database and if I remove the apostrophe from the phrase, then it saves correctly with any data type.
View Replies View RelatedIf a user enters in this to search a db
"Jon Doe" James Doh
return all of the exact matches Jon Doe (user uses quotes to clarify an exact search)
along with that: return all of the James and all of the Doh as well
qry to look like this as soon as I am able to divide up the string entered in by the user
select * from table where (NAME LIKE '%Jon Doe%') or

Thinking of using the instr to find the " but then what do I do to find the string inside of the two quotes, One quote would be easy. there is a couple of checks to preform:anyone run into this before or have any ideas/samples, etc
I have created a query wizard page with ddl as your choice to find info. now each ddl has a default of a dash.
The thing is I want to do is have the sql statement to look through the database even when some of the ddl have a dash on them. or just ignore the ones with a dash and look for the ones that are selected. Is there any suggestions for this.

The code in here sends an email to the user via CDOSYS

This is what I have going on and it does not send the emal when the form is posted. Removing the If statement obviously sends the email the moment the form page is accessed, but thats not right.
i have a couple of if statements and it goes something like this, the user will try entering their username and password in the login page then they will be taken to a verify page, then it will decided if the user can be send to the login page again or to the invalid page. The problem is that after 3 times the user is still send to the login page and not the invalid page My verify page code is :-
<%
session("try") = try
if try = "" then
try = 0
else
try = try + 1
end if
if try <> 3 then
response.redirect("login.asp")
else
response.redirect("invalid.asp")

Recordset1.Source = "SELECT `bestsellerslists`.`itemnumber`, `bestsellerslists`.`list`, `products`.`Product_ID`, `products`.`Product_Name`, `products`.`Price`, `products`.`Sale_Price`, `products`.`Smallpic` FROM `bestsellerslists` INNER JOIN `products` ON (`bestsellerslists`.`itemnumber` = `products`.`Product_ID`) WHERE (`bestsellerslists`.`list` = "girlinfant")"
In Macromedia, the recordset tests fine. When I start the page, I get an error. Do you see anything wrong with this? If I delete the WHERE clause it works.

I am passing in values either customer id (key) or their names (name) from a form .
You don't have to use both the id and the name to search for the customer however I don't know how to do this!
If the keyform = "" then , use the name to find the customer
else
can't find it! this is what I have at the moment :

I'm fairly new to coding in asp and i'm trying to create a simple if.. else... condition.
It's for asp web page, and is linked to my database, but i figured since it's a basic question, it would belong in the General newsgroup.
All i am trying to, is, on my web page I have a table cell, that feeds off my database.
If there's something in the database in that particular field, then I want it to be displayed, If not, then rather the cell return a blank field, I want a picture from another field.....
How can I do the following:
If recordset is empty, redirect to page1 but if recordset has something in,
redirect to page 2.
