note 54378 added to function.stripslashes

Stripslashes is a useful function to remove unwanted backslashes from text area data that is submitted. Any text area data with certain characters such as ' & et cetera will cause a backslash to appear before it when displayed in a text area. To get rid of this simply call stripslashes on the string in question before displaying that string. It even fixes data with mutiple backslashes such as "////" -> becoming "////////". The original "////" will be retained by removing one slash per slash. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stripslashes.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+54378 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54378&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54378&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54378&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54378&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54378&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54378&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+54378&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
