RE: [PHP] Char Problem

look in your php.ini for the setting of magic_quotes if on, then php will automatically escape quotes for you once you've submitted data...you can turn it off, and then addslashes right before you enter your info into a database, or leave it on and stripslashes where appropriate..... -jack -----Original Message----- From: Mon Akira [mailto:MonAkira@gmx.de] Sent: Saturday, April 07, 2001 2:45 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Char Problem Hello...
