Ok, I have these string prototypes to work with, however, I don't understand what they do exactly.
String.prototype.php_htmlspecialchars = function()
{
return this.replace(/&/g, '&').replace(/</g, '<').replace(/>/g, '>').replace(//g, '"');
}
String.prototype.php_unhtmlspecialchars = function()
{
return this.replace(/"/g, '').replace(/>/g, '>').replace(/</g, '<').replace(/&/g, '&');
}
String.prototype.php_addslashes = function()
{
return this.replace(/\/g, '\\').replace(/'/g, '\'');
}
String.prototype._replaceEntities = function(sInput, sDummy, sNum)
{
return String.fromCharCode(parseInt(sNum));
}
String.prototype.removeEntities = function()
{
return this.replace(/&(amp;)?#(d+);/g, this._replaceEntities);
}
String.prototype.easyReplace = function (oReplacements)
{
var sResult = this;
for (var sSearch in oReplacements)
sResult = sResult.replace(new RegExp('%' + sSearch + '%', 'g'), oReplacements[sSearch]);
return sResult;
}
Basically, what I need to do is replace all instances of double quotes (), >, <, single quotes ('), etc. etc.. Basically the same stuff that htmlentities() in php changes, but I need to replace them with an empty string, so that they are removed from the text.
Can I use any of the functions above? If not, how can I accomplish this in Javascript? Can I use a replace on the string?
Please, someone, help me here. I am placing this text into a select box and will be inputted into the database upon submitting of the form. Though, I am using PHP to remove all of these characters, however, I'm having difficulty finding a way to do this in Javascript.
Thanks :)
