Newbie Question - Allowing certain characters in textarea

[rvr1]

Hi,

On my site a user has to enter data into a textarea. However, when the data is re-displayed on another form, if the user has entered characters such as \ or ' etc, they are always preceeded by a \.

How can I overcome this? I'm sure it's very simple, but this is my first php project and I am teaching myself as I go along.

Cheers,

Rob

PHP's function stripslashes() (v

will probably do the trick.
