Re: [PHP] Filtering out \ when a ' is user entered?

That's due to the magic_quotes variables in the PHP settings.

You can apply 'stripslashes()' to the string:

 $what_they_said = stripslashes($what_they_said);

This also will convert \n to a new line, etc, in the string. If you don't
want that, and just want to rip any \ characters out (assuming your users
*never* enter a slash intentionally) then try:

 $what_they_said = ereg_replace("\\", '', $what_they_said);

Turu.
