It's like any other PHP function - you assign the result of the function to a variable. So: $variable = addslashes($variable_to_add_slashes_to) and those variables can be the same; so $sire = addslashes($sire); $dam = addslashes($dam); would work in your case. Note that you are going to have to strip the slashes when displaying data from the DB - the command is not surprisingly called stripslashes. What has possibly happened is that you have different settings in the ini file on your current server for one of the magic-quotes settings. -- David Robley | WEBMASTER & Mail List Admin RESEARCH CENTRE FOR INJURY STUDIES | http://www.nisu.flinders.edu.au/ AusEinet | http://auseinet.flinders.edu.au/ Flinders University, ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
