Re: mysql + addslashes + stripslashes

Any definitive help would be much appreciated. i'm not an expert at this, but i think that since you're using mysql to store your data, you shouldn't use addslashes() and use mysql_real_escape_string() instead... http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-real-escape-string.php but that's just me. i would run any user input through that function to make sure that it's 'safe' to put in your database. of course, i would also be checking the input to make sure that it safe by other means as well. hope that helps. -drew -- dc .. drewcore.com
