Also note that this function will remove any and all slashes, including those you may want to keep. While it correctly transforms \' into ', it will also turn a linefeed (\n) into an "n". Likewise, the addslashes function blindly adds slashes, whether it needs to or not. It will happily turn \' (an already escaped ') into \\\'. Nightmare. If you read and write strings from/to a database extensively, you are probably better of writing your own, smart string handling function. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stripslashes.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+46020 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46020&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+46020&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
