Reversing mysql_escape_string Not hard, but not obvious when you are getting started with database programming If you _correctly_ escape a string before putting it into a MySQL field, then when you retrieve it, you have to do a string replace to UN_ESCAPE it before displaying it. If you retrieved a field named addresslistname from a db then do the following: $addresslistname = $row["addresslistname"]; $addresslistname = str_replace("\'", "'",$addresslistname);
