RE: [PHP] apostrophe ( ' ) on a form, adding \; How can i fix this?

as others have mentioned already, it's happening automatically because of the magic quotes feature. use the function stripslashes() to remove the escaping character. $text = "o\'reilly"; $text = stripslashes($text); // $text now equals "o'reilly"; hth, chris. -----Original Message----- From: Louie Miranda [mailto:louie@axishift.ath.cx] Sent: Wed 2/25/2004 9:19 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Cc: Subject: [PHP] apostrophe ( ' ) on a form, adding \; How can i fix this? I have a user/form that client enters data. And one of my clients have an apostrophe on his name eg: Ero's Now, this page has a confirmation page that the client would see first before his form will be directed into my system. Now its shows "Ero\'s" how come this is happening? I dont have any filters for this? Any help is much appreciated!
