This is really weird. For some reason, when submitting a form via POST or GET it escapes the ' and " charachters. For example;

"test"

comes out as

\"test\"

This is REALLY annoying. Is there a way to get rid of those? I seem to remember something like htmlescape(), but I cant find the page again :(

Thanks

Andy
 
use the stripslashes() function to get rid of the slashes It's not a lie if YOU believe it ;-)
 
if you want rid of just the slashes, stripslashes() is the best way to go.
if you wanna lose the quotes and slashes, use

str_replace("/\\", "", $fieldname);

and it'll search and destory, RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!
sorry.. get a bit carried away with that one sometimes.
