Hi Loïc !

I'm back from holiday and have read about 140 messages in the list (ouch!).

...

Btw, what is this $fields_prev[] information for ?

Let's say one of your field current value is `this is "my" vel`. To have it displayed and take into account as a value of a form field it has to rewritten to `this is & quot;my & quot; val`.

Why do you write '& quot;' and not '"' ? Is that inserted space necessary ?

Let's say that while altering the current record you do not modify this field (ie you modify only onther(s) fields), then the value passed by the form is `this is & quot;my & quot; val` and your field will be updated with this value. $fields_prev[] is only a way to ensure fields with special characters would be modified only if this is trully required by the user.

Really ? I mean if you have a form with <input name="foo" value="&quot;"> and press submit, you'll get $foo='"' (modulo magic quotes of course) in your script (and not $foo='&quot;'), which should not cause any problem...

I'd just like to understand a bit more. Maybe $fields_prev[] solves problems that such a basic example may not show. Is $fields_prev[] intended to handle only basic html special chars ('<', '>', '"', '&'), or also other special chars ?
