Apostrophe in Textarea PHP

I have a textarea that is part of a form that submits to a PHP file.

The problem is that when an apostrophe (’) is entered into the textarea, the corresponding REQUEST variable in PHP turns up empty ($_REQUEST['description']). If there is no apostrophe, the $_REQUEST['description'] contains the textarea text as intended. Entering punctuation like single quotes and double quotes also works but an apostrophe does not. The same problem occurs for <input type="text"></input> as well. Is there any way to fix that?

Try this

HTML code

<form action="cible.php" method="POST">
Group name: <input type="text" name="user">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

PHP :

<?php
$groupname = htmlspecialchars($_POST['user'], ENT_QUOTES);
echo $groupname;
?>

It's work fine for me

Do you have magic quote in your php config ? Try to disable it.
