Actually, After coding with PHP since the days me and bourbon shared a cube at Netvision while he developed php3 I think that's something I would know :)
The funny issue is that only if I use double stripslashes does it work. e.g. $str = stripslashes($str); // This will NOT do the job. $str = stripslashes(stripslashes($str)); // This will do the job. This is the 1st time ever that I bumped into such a thing... any idea why? Any chance it has to do with the fact that I'm using <HTML DIR="RTL"> ? berber -----Original Message----- From: Rasmus Lerdorf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2001 6:01 PM To: Boaz Yahav Cc: PHP General (E-mail) Subject: Re: [PHP] stripslashes() not striping slashes > Anyone has an idea why stripslashes(); doesn't strip slashes? > I have a form that when it's submitted with a ' sign ads slashes to the > submit results. > I'm taking the variable and sending it through stripslashes(); and yet > the slashes remain. You are perhaps thinking it does in-place modification of the argument? ie. stripslashes($a); echo $a; That's not how it works. It returns the stripped string. ie. $a = stripslashes($a); echo $a; -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
