Re: Filtering out \ when a ' is user entered?

Most likely the cause of this is the magic_quotes_gpc setting in your (either maintained by you, or your hosts) php configurations, which are contained within php.ini Information on this setting can be read about here : http://php.net/manual/configuration.php#ini.magic-quotes-gpc In short, you can use the stripslashes() function to strip them : http://www.php.net/manual/function.stripslashes.php Essentially you'd do one of the following : $data = stripslashes($data); or print stripslashes($data); Regards, Philip On Tue, 26 Jun 2001, Marcus James Christian wrote: > Hello, > > I'm pretty new to PHP but all I've seen of it so far I pretty much love! > > I've built a web log but when the user enters their data and they use ' > or " (and you know they will) php always shows it from the included > web log as > > \' How can I filter out these backslashes so they don't appear on the > final public viewable page? > > Thanks, > Marcus > > -- > Marcus James Christian - UNLIMITED - > Multimedia Internet Design > http://mjchristianunlimited.com > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net >
