Apostrophes and slashes
25 Sep 2008 23:15 Filed in: Development
I finally saw one too many stray backslash in
confirmation emails -- if you submit a sentence with
an apostrophe to the site ("Oh my God, it's full of
giraffes!") then the email confirmation the submitter
gets _and_ the email copy I get would be sent with
apostrophes escaped ready to go into the database
("Oh my God, it\'s full of giraffes!".) This cosmetic
bug has annoyed me slightly for about a year, and I
only just got around to fixing it. Ugh. But anyway,
from now on you shouldn't see any more ugly
extraneous backslashes in Unique Sentence emails.
