Default handling special characters

I can not find my notes on how to deal with special characters in a search string.

The current issue is with the area names on the www.StuartHomes.us website search my mls area.

I am wanting my Sewalls Point snippet to display all listings in area 5.

The issue is that I have to match their string and in this case it is as follows:
'5 - Sewall's Point'

how do I deal with the single quote in the string? something with a / if I recall - just can not find the syntax...

Can someone help me here?

Thanks

Default Re: handling special characters

I had to make a slight change to the IDX code for this to work - but the second part would be to do this: ( use double quotes around the string )

$_REQUEST['area'][] = "5 - Sewall's Point";

Instead of using the single quotes around the string.

$_REQUEST['area'][] = '5 - Sewall's Point';

I've corrected the "stuarthomes.us/sewallspoint.php" page.
