note 18172 added to function.stripslashes

try this in conjunction with stripslashes for form to form data tossing with magic quotes on: htmlspecialchars fails because it will then translate the ampersands into &amps; so use this instead: $apos = "'"; $quot = """; if($products){ while (list ($key, $val) = each($products)) { $products[$key] = str_replace("'",$apos,stripslashes($val)); $products[$key] = str_replace('"',$quot,stripslashes($val)); } reset($products); } peace, love and crackiness http://www.dross.com -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stripslashes.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+18172 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+18172 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+18172
