OK, well it's simpler than I thought. It appears that you can't put an "apostrophe" in a xoopsformtext gadget.

A xoopsformtextarea works ok. Why is this? No doubt it's something stupidly simple I'm missing. I note a "apostrophe" works in this forum on the "Subject" line. What am I doing wrong? Even a simple line like this doesn't show the apostrophe or anything after it:


$subtext = new XoopsFormText("Subject: ", "subject", 50, 50,"My test's");

When it renders, the apostrophe and the "s" are missing.

I just noticed that in my case, the subject of my forum was "What's wrong with ...." and when I got my PM's teeling me a reply had been posted, everything after the ' was stripped out, so it just read "What..".

I know WF-Sections have had some trouble with apostorphes in subject and title lines but I think they've fixed it (or fixing it).

Should this be moved to the bug forum? Is it known about already?

You have to sanitize variables before setting them as the value in text fields:
