Ex: > >$var = "Thank's"; >$var = stripslashes($var); >echo $var; >Output = Thank\'s --------------------[snip]-------------------- This can't work since there are no slashes to strip... stripslashes() strips certain slashes from a string. Assume you have a textarea where the user enters "Thank's", so PHP converts this to "Thank\'s" (assuming magic_quotes is set to on). Using stripslashes() here will get rid of these slashes. BTW - the sample you've sent will output "Thank's" - what are you doing what you didn't show? -- >O Ernest E. Vogelsinger (\) ICQ #13394035 ^ http://www.vogelsinger.at/
