Hi,

I have a string, "'abc'". How do I convert it to "abc" (i.e. how do I
strip the embedded single quotes) with a minimum of overhead?

(In case you'r wondering: I created the quoted string to store it in
MySQL, now I want to display the same string in a Webpage. Usually the
strings I display do not have embedded single quotes, and I add the
single quotes when I output the string printf("<input type='text'
value='%s'>", $value); That works well enough for strings that don't
already have embedded quotes. But when they do I want to get rid of them
quickly and easily, otherwise I get ...value = ''some value''> and
Netscape doesn't display the value embedded in two single quote
characters).

TIA,

Elan
