[FX.php List] Bad apostrophe character confounds FMP

[Bob Patin]

I couldn't find it in my site files quickly, but I think I used

HTMLspecialchars

to avoid this problem, which i also had.

A function that would do this would be the thing to use; something  
that would also strip slashes...

stripslashes(htmlspecialchars($thestring))

But I can't remember whether I used htmlspecialchars or htmlentities...
