See these PHP directives:
Directive: Default: ------------------------------ magic_quotes_gpc on magic_quotes_sybase off If both are enabled, PHP will do what you want. magic_quotes_gpc is the PHP directive that essentially runs addslashes() on all your GetPostCookie data automatically, which is what you're experiencing. This cannot be set at runtime with ini_set(). magic_quotes_sybase is a little different, if on then both magic_quotes_gpc and addslashes will escape as '' not \'. magic_quotes_sybase can be set at runtime with ini_set() which will affect your use of addslashes().
