Note Submitter: kurnia@del.ac.id ---- You will need stripslashes() when you are taking a query as a form variable (i.e. $_POST($your_query)). example: You define an input variable named your_query, and you want to pass it thru when you press submit button in the form. Your proses_query.php will consist: //first, you take your input into a variable $my_command = $_POST[your_query]; /* you have to stripslashes the content of variable, to leave out all the slashes that has been put by PHP when you pass it thru via submit button*/ $my_command=stripslashes($my_command); $do_the_query=mysql_query($my_command); NOTE: be sure to do stripslashes when you query consist of stripslases such as insert, etc. However you may not need it when your query only select * from your_table_name (notice no slashes in it). However for best practice, it's good for you to generalize it by using stripslashes, otherwise you'll get an error message.
