RE: [PHP] '' and \" -> How do you avoid removing these?

there's a directive in the php.ini file, something like "magic_quotes" or something (too lazy to look...), set that to 0 (zero) or use stripslashes() (this might have an underscore in the name, again too lazy to check) on the vars Martin -----Original Message----- From: Jon [mailto:Jon@digital-explosion.co.uk] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 1:59 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] '' and \" -> How do you avoid removing these? Okay, I'm trying to read in a form with " and ' in it. The problem is that PHP automatically changes these to \" and \' without asking :( If I read in a file with " or ' in, it's fine and outputting to the screen is no problem. It's only when I read in from a form that a problem appears. All I want to do is read from my form and write it into a normal text file. If anyone's got any ideas how to solve this, feel free to mail me...
