I just turned off get_magic_quotes in my PHP.ini, but not sure if the hosting company has it on or not once I upload the site.

Here's the scenario. I have a form - after they submit the form it shows what they have entered, this is where I get the \. It also does it if the form redisplays after the user has input invalid data. All this is being done on the same page.

Hi,

Anyone know how I can strip slashes from $_POST variables. I have tried about a hundred different ways of doing this and

nothing works.

i.e. if(!empty($_POST)){ foreach($_POST as $x => $y){ $_POST[$x] = stripslashes($y); } } This came about after someone tried to enter O'Toole in a

form, and it

appeared as O\'Toole. Thanks

This is what I use, and it has worked ever time. if ( get_magic_quotes_gpc() ) { $_POST = array_map("stripslashes", $_POST); } Jim Lucas

  do you have a way to look at the data in the DB, if so, look to see if the back slashes are in the db
