[FX.php List] Problem with moving some text

[Bob Patin]

I'm trying to do the following:

Take text from a variable, use a GET form to move this variable  
content (called "$body") into a form textarea field so it can be edited.

So here's the scenario:

The text is displayed on the screen in a table; it may or may not  
contain quotes and apostrophes.

I put a little GET form on the screen with nothing but a couple of  
hidden fields and a SUBMIT button. This form takes the displayed text  
(which is in "$body") and puts it into a hidden field which I call  
"quoted".

Then the form calls the same page, which does this

$quoted = $_GET['body'];

and then I want to plug $quoted into a field so that it can be edited  
or quoted.

The problem is this: if $quoted contains any quotation marks or  
single-quotes, it gets truncated. So instead of seeing this:

The car is a "blue" car

I see this instead:

The car is a

in the text edit field.

How do I pass this text into a hidden field, and then put it into a  
textarea field, so that all of it is displayed and not truncated?

Thanks,
