It's a feature of PHP that it automatically escapes data submitted in
PUT/GET/etc.
It's nice in that it adds to how secure PHP code is, but it can be a hassle.
Not sure if there is a function which removes escape characters will leaving
normal backslashes alone. If you REALLY need to turn it off I believe it's
the magic_quotes_gpc option.
