wierd form output

I have a form. If the value is invalid, they get prompted again. It works fine except for *\* characters. If the user enters \\, hits submit, it will put \\\\ in the field. If hit again, double that and so on. I doubt users will ever type that for something like a name or address. but I find it really wierd. I save the previous fields and if they're wrong, go back to the form with the old values. Does this have something to do with stripslashes()? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos - 35mm Quality Prints, Now Get 15 Free! http://photos.yahoo.com/
