Apostrophe in Text Output
Hello.
How do I place an apostrophe in the textual output of a php document? namely, I want the output to be ::: you're ::: instead of ::: you are :::

Re: Apostrophe in Text Output
You've probably tried print ('You're'); and had it complain. Try print ("You're"); instead.
Background - PHP supports single quoted strings (where everything is taken literally) and double quoted strings (where the $ and \ characters have special significance). Although you can use a " in a " string (with \"), you cannot do the same thing to get a ' in a ' string.

Re: Apostrophe in Text Output
You can escape apostrophies in a string using apostrophies...
You may also want to look into the functions addslashes() and stripslashes().
