[FX.php List] str_replace " in $lookupResult ?

[Derrick Fogle]

When you're putting values into HTML fields, hidden or not, you need  
to use php's html_entities() wrapper to properly encode those  
characters.

<input type="hidden" name="recipes" value='<?php html_entities(print_r 
($fixedlookuprecipesResult)); ?>' />

I take it you're NOT having trouble with magicquotes? If you were,  
you'd see a bunch of backslash characters getting inserted before  
single and double quotes, and a few other characters, too.
