Re: Quotes in GET variables

It's a feature of PHP that it automatically escapes data submitted in PUT/GET/etc. It's nice in that it adds to how secure PHP code is, but it can be a hassle. Not sure if there is a function which removes escape characters will leaving normal backslashes alone. If you REALLY need to turn it off I believe it's the magic_quotes_gpc option.
