I always had the problem of never knowing when slashes had already been added. I only needed them to be added once, and did not want to add them a second time. Here's a little function that will make sure your string will only be escaped once: function formatSlashes($string){ while(strstr($string,"\\")){ $string=stripslashes($string); } return addslashes($string); }
