Hello again,
I have a form that is used to submit data to my script. If the user enters
something like:
The title of this book doesn't really matter to "me"!
When I get that back, and read it from the file, it always ends up like:
The title of this book doesn\'t really matter to \"me\"!
Note the addition of the escape sequences. How can I stop this? Is there
some function in PHP? Or am I goign to have to write a character routine to
strip out escape sequences? <shudder>
