RE: [PHP] Quotation Marks in <textarea>...</textarea>

try stripslashes() to undo what addslashes() does :-) -----Original Message----- From: news.php.net [mailto:k_c@pacbell.net] Sent: 09 October 2001 09:16 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Quotation Marks in <textarea>...</textarea> Hi... I am having some difficulty with my quotation marks in a textarea HTML tag and processed by a PHP form handling script. It seems that if you enter a string in these tags that is surrounded by quotation marks, then you get a backslash and quotation marks surrounding your string in the output. For example, if I am a user writing a message in a comments section of a form: My dog's name is "Harry". We call him that because he is VERY hairy. And the form stores the above into a variable called $Comments, and I decide to print out the result of this string: print ("$Comments\n"); I get: My dog's name is \"Harry\". We call him that because he is VERY hairy. As far as I know, PHP is supposed to display quotations in textareas without incident and without the backslashes. Please let me know what I am doing wrong.
