If your trying to pull out some variables from $_REQUEST and directly output them (in my case, quoted text from a search query directly into a HTML text box) with magic_quotes_gpc on use: htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($searchtext)); For example: <input type="Text" name="searchtext" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($searchtext)); ?>"><br> $searchtext was pulled from the $_REQUEST variable where $searchtext = "lifeline \"darling downs\""; It properly returns this (including quotes) in the text box. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stripslashes.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+46123 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46123&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+46123&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
