I have never come across this before and it's completely stumped me!
I am using some custom front end posting scripts in Wordpress, these work absolutely fine, everything is escaped correctly before the data is saved to the db etc, but I seem to be having an issue with the apostrophe (single quote) when entered on a Mac keyboard.
An example post using various chars is entered in the text area :
a post with other chars `~":;?/[]{}-_=+!£$%^&*()'
And this is what is saved in the db (and then displayed on the page when called) :
a post with other chars `~":;?/[]{}-_=+!£$%^&*()'
This is how the data is being saved to the db for clarity :
esc_attr(strip_tags($_POST['postContent'])),
If I copy and paste an apostrophe from a webpage like this for example it saves just fine :
Ain’t that strange!
But that slanted apostrophe isn't available (as standard) on the Mac keyboard, the default is the single quote '
I have never come across this issue before.
Anybody got any suggestions or workarounds as I'm at my wits end!
