However, stripslashes() doesn't necessarily undo addslashes(). If you want to know why or see more discussion on that, search the PHP internals archive. I think it was within the last 3 months or so that this was discussed. The best option is to turn that stuff off, but if you can't, I bet the fix_magic_quotes() function will be helpful. It can be found here: http://education.nyphp.org/phundamentals/PH_storingretrieving.php That page also describes why it's best to not use magic_quotes. Hope that helps.
