You have magic_quotes_gpc turned on. You will need to stripslashes anything
passed in as a GET var.
You can turn this off in php.ini or Apache conf files (including .htaccess).
See the configuration portion of the manual for instructions.

Subject: [PHP-DEV] PHP Bug Type: Strings related ???
>
> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
> Operating system: Solaris 8 / Intel
> PHP version: 4.0.4pl1
> PHP Bug Type: Strings related
> Bug description: Backslash parameter passing in Forms
>
> Here's instructions on how to reproduce :
>
> 1. Create a php-file with this content :
> <HTML> <BODY> <?php print( $p ); ?> </BODY> </HTML>
> and call it whatever you want (eg. blah.php)
>
> 2. Next call the URL eg. http://server/blah.php?p=/
> 2a. Same with http://server/blah.php?p=%5c
> The apache access_log shows the very same url one typed into netscape or
> explorer, so this looks fine to me.
>
> 3. Look at the output page. It'll show 2 (in words : two) backslashes
> Why is this ? How do i pass just one backslash ?
>
> Thanks a lot
> Cheers
