I'm not sure that stripslashes() are used for input.

If you want to redisplay the input, then it would be used.

addslashes() - to insert data into database stripslashes() - to get data from database and print it.

You don't need stripslashes when pulling data unless you have magic_quotes_runtime enabled. If you find that you need to call stripslashes on your data, then you're escaping it twice before you insert it. -- ---John Holmes...
