Problem inserting a function - Easy question

[zek2005]

Hi !!!

I have the following php code

<?php
$db = mysql_connect(" 1", user, password)
or die ("can´t connect");
mysql_select_db (efemerides,$db );
mysql_close();
?>

I receive the error "can´t connect". Right beacuse "1" is not my
server.

Then I insert a function in the code and I do not receive the "can´t
connect" error. It seems that when I insert the function in the PHP
doesn´t work as it should

<?php
$db = mysql_connect(" 1", user, password)
or die ("no se ha podido conectar");
mysql_select_db (efemerides,$db );
function quitar($mensaje )
{
$mensaje = str_replace("<" ,"<",$mensaj e);
$mensaje = str_replace(">" ,">",$mensaj e);
$mensaje = str_replace("\' ","'",$mensaje) ;
$mensaje = str_replace('\" ',""",$mensaje) ;
$mensaje = str_replace("\\ \\","\",$mensaj e);
return $mensaje;
}
mysql_close();
?>

Any suggestion?

Regards!

$mensaje = str_replace('\" ',""",$mensaje) ;

This will result in a parse error, preventing the script from ever
executing (which you would know if you had display_errors on, which is
very handy in development).

Change the line to the following and you'll get the expected behaviour:
$mensaje = str_replace('\" ','"',$mensaje) ;

"1" is not a valid host name. You should usually use "localhost"

or die ("no se ha podido conectar");
mysql_select_db (efemerides,$db );
function quitar($mensaje )
{
$mensaje = str_replace("<" ,"<",$mensaj e);
$mensaje = str_replace(">" ,">",$mensaj e);
$mensaje = str_replace("\' ","'",$mensaje) ;
$mensaje = str_replace('\" ',""",$mensaje) ;
$mensaje = str_replace("\\ \\","\",$mensaj e);
return $mensaje;
}
mysql_close();
?>

Use PHP built-in escaping instead of making your own function:

$safe = htmlentities(ge t_magic_quotes_ gpc() ? stripslashes($m ensaje) :
$mensaje);
