Hello, I have some problem with these characters : “-” (dash), ” ” (space) and “‘” (simple quote).

The website I’m working on is in french and some fields require french cities using these characters. I have no problem with accents and “_”.

How can I do when I’m creating and reindexing extra fields :
– to replace ” ” by “;” (semi-colon) automatically
– to escape “‘” (for exemple addslashes and stripslashes)

Thanks by advance !

Thank you, the decimal characters work.
– space => use &diese32;
– dash => use –
– quote -> use ´

Hello,

I have a similar issue with using the dash in my site, http://www.smartwater.com.au. I have an extra field that shows the project number for items. Sometimes this project number is 52M-2027 and if you put this full number (including the dash) in the search field, you will find the correct item. However, if you put another project number, say 413-003, no results are shown, despite the fact that there is an item with an extra field project number of 413-003. I’ve had a few people look at this and we can’t seem to get to the bottom of why this is happening…
Appreciate any help. I don’t understand the meaning of the link posted by Cahvan and what I’m supposed to do with that information!

Thanks!
