I get the error message below when adding a question with either a quote (") or apostrophe (') in the test. Running Moodle 2 and my db is utf8
Error writing to database
Hi Ubongabasi,
We need further information. Which version of Moodle are you using?
Which type of question are you using (multiple choice, shortanswer etc.).
Please give us the complete Question type, question text, expected answers, etc.
I hope none of your text is copy-pasted from a Word Processor (Word, etc) into Moodle' HTML editor but typed directly?
Joseph
Hi Ubongabasi,
I just pasted the example text into demo.moodle.net in a new lesson I created. It seemed to work.
Since this is an issue for you in both Lesson and Quiz, I suspect this is a webserver or Moodle site problem. I wonder if the same thing happens when you try to add an HTML block with this code?
Please paste the info about version that can be found under "notifications".
Another suggestion is to turn up the level of debug on the site and try it again. You might see some error messages that are more helpful in figuring out what is going on with your site.
