Re: Re: Simple Question

hello, I don't know how for I got your problem but, If you trying to print a string like this eg : print "This is Tom's book"; In the above case you need not use a back slash to escape the single quote coz' php accepts single quote's within a double quote. Otherwise you can use stripslashes() which works like this. string stripslashes(string str); Returns a string with backslashes stripped off. (\' becomes ' and so on.) Double backslashes are made into a single backslash. regards - JFK > >"Tom Ray" <tom@blazestudios.com> wrote in message > >news:3C1824A4.4070609@blazestudios.com... > > > >>I have a quick question that I haven't been able to find the answer to > >>yet.
