Hello! I have a simple form taking in some user text input and storing it in a mysql database. My problem is that PHP strips off any backslashes in the text. I realize that backspace is used as an escape character in PHP, but sometimes i DO want it in there!! Is there a way to do this so that I can store them? For example replacing the backslash with some code? Like "&" can replace "&"? Anyone? - Torkil
