note 7860 deleted from function.stripslashes by aidan

Note Submitter: mike dot parent at ns dot sympatico dot ca ---- [Editor's note: Actually, the function to properly escape single quotes in a database query is addslashes(), not stripslashes. --erica@php.net] Also important when you are passing a select query of a text field to mysql. I have a web form for issuing commands directly to the database and I needed to use stripslashes to correctly issue things like: select * from members where membername='Fred' Mike Parent
