RE: [PHP] Why???

Sure, here's the fix -- stripslashes() ! I'll explain : in PHP certain caracters have to be escaped to prevent these hackers breaking your code up. By default configuration PHP will automatically insert a backslash '/' infront of every "dangerous" caracters received via GET, POST ect ... for instance on a form submission. In your code you should use the strings just as they are (in the way they arrived to you), except that on output using stripslashes() the backslash will disappear. BUT REMEMBER - ONLY ON OUTPUT... ie: echo stripslashes($text); Cheers, Maxim Maletsky -----Original Message----- From: Nguyen, David M [mailto:david.m.nguyen@xo.com] Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2001 1:03 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Why??? Hi all, I have a PHP web form setup for user to fill in information then email it to me after pressing SUBMIT button. Everytime user uses double-quote(") or single(') it inserts (/) right in front of " or '. Does anyone know why and how to fix it? Please advise. Below is example of what I got from my email when user submits form to me. Topic: Added \"Initial login to the EMS\" procedure.
