Yes, Peter. For some reason, the style scripting I have set up on my blog changes ” and ‘ into weird quotes.

I posted that in my response — there is a plain text version linked at the end of the article which has the entire code.

Cheers!

To follow up LarcenIII’s comment, I think what happened is that at some step along the way, the code was pasted into MS word or some other rich text editor. Once I changed all the quotes, it worked like a charm though. Thanks!

Yea, Thanks for that LarcenIII; My stylesheet for the site is putting a ’spin’ on double and single quotes, I’ll try to fix it, but the code in the text file will work.
edit: There we go. It appears that if I wrap the code in blockquote tags the stylesheet leaves it alone. Thanks for your help! Hope you enjoy the site~

Ok I figured it out, I re typed it all over by hand and there’s something wrong with whats on your page. I believe you backward quotes on your page instead of regular quotes….

example:

$query .= “\n\n”;
Those quotes aren’t right. Its like open quotes and close quotes. I don’t even know how to make those kinds of quotes.

That’s what it is, for some reason when I put the code up for download it changed the single quotes ‘ to another version of the quote whose ASCII code I can’t remember.
Glad you got it working, I’ll attach the code for others instead of pasting it.
See you around~
