Hmm.. Forms always produced slashed data than I wouldn't have gotten a MySQL error on the ' in O'Neil.. But perhaps it is something on my server.. Andrey Hristov wrote:

Hello, I've created a little opensource script: http://openconcept.ca/guide-petition.phtml Which uses addslashes() to help clean up data inserted from a web form. This is fine, except that it appears that you can set up php, so that addslashes are automatically added: "one small thing i noticed was the "addSlashes" issue. it seems like php is sometimes installed (such as on my machine) in such a way that addSlashes AUTOMATICALLY happens and therefore MANUAL addSlashes adds a SECOND, superfluous forward slash." "eg Patrick "the skier" kuharic comes out in invitea friend emails by your system as Patrick \the skier\ kuharic" Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions for work arounds?
