Apropo of RTFM discussion, a problem with text from a form and quotes

Ok, so I hit this snag, and it's probably trivial, but I can't even begin to formulate a query to search on it.. I have a block of text from a form, in a variable. If the original text had double quotes (") then the text in the block has (\"). I know this is from the process of being entered from a form, but once in PHP, how do I convert it back? (Search engines really don't like \" as a search term..) -- www.SpamWhack.com A pre-emptive strike against spam Where's dave? http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?kc6ete-9 My transistor sings with unintended parasitic the smoke escapes By Jeff Stout
