> Which uses addslashes() to help clean up data inserted from a

> sometimes installed (such as on my machine) in such a way
> that addSlashes
> AUTOMATICALLY happens and therefore MANUAL addSlashes adds a SECOND,
> superfluous forward slash."

> "eg
> Patrick "the skier" kuharic
> comes out in invitea friend emails by your system as
> Patrick \the skier\ kuharic"

> Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions for work arounds?
