When a form is submitting data to another php page it is sending specialcharacters with escape sequences added. Ex : <Input type=text value="c:\programfiles\" name=var1> & when i do an echo $var1; in the submitted php page it is showing "c:\\programfiles\\" instead of "c:\programfiles\" Howto overcome this ? /Chandu
