RE: [PHP-GENERAL] Remove double quotes from string

Hi, > I havent been able to replicate your problem.. Originally you > wanted to > change double quotes to nothing, in which case > $mytext=str_replace("\"","",$mytext); works OK for me.. I think I have tracked the problem of the additional "\" which should not be there. php3 seems to add to any text field submitted via an HTML form which contain double quotes a "\". Probably to prevent trouble when it gets further processed. Similar to the lite(mSQL) function msqlEncode($string). Thus, you could not see the problem which I had. Strange, any idea how you can trun off this feature?
