True, but repeating the "stripslashes" would remove them without harming anything else. $str="v1='That\'s mine, isn't it?' &v2='No, it\'s not!'"; parse_str($str); print "v1: ".stripslashes(stripslashes($v1))."<br>"; print "v2: ".stripslashes(stripslashes($v2))."<br>"; David -- David Jardine "Running Debian GNU/Linux and loving every minute of it." -L. von Sacher-M.(1835-1895) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
