Re: stripslashes problem

Well I could, but then I get a problem at the next stage. To summarise, there are three stages: - entry form - confirmation - display details and say 'is this okay?' - write to database If you enter O'Brien in the form, it's shown as O\'Brien on the confirmation. If I leave it that way, when it reaches the third page it turns up as O\ - and that's all (ie, the backslash on the confirmation page has itself been escaped - don't know what's happened to the quote or the rest of the string). If I run it through stripslashes() on the confirmation page, it turns up as just O on the final page. Damned if I do, damned if I don't...
