Darn, it still 'aint working. Ok, let's say $fldemail contains
"o\'[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
I then run these:
$fldemail == stripslashes($fldemail);
$fldemail == ereg_replace("'","",$fldemail);
And I get "o\'[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ... damn.

Any ideas? Thanks,

Matt Stone

Matt,

Try ereg_replace:-

$fldemail == ereg_replace("'","",$fldemail);
