RE: [PHP] Why???

This 'setting' is one of the best things PHP got. Yes, you can configure PHP.ini so it won't put '/' infront " or ' but then you'll have to do it yourself in the script... This is more a security issue, it is needed, believe me....

I can help you there, as I had the same problem until someone else helped me. This is because PHP will escape the input it gets. I think this is dependant on some enviroment setting, but I can't recall which one. To fix it you call stripslashes($var); - John Vanderbeck - Admin, GameDesign ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nguyen, David M" <david.m.nguyen@xo.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2001 11:02 AM 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.
