John, Thank you for your reply. My magic_quotes_runtime is set to 'Off'. As you said, I shouldn't have to use StripSlashes but would I still need to use AddSlashes when inserting/updating? I can see the slashes in the database when I look at the tables but I am fairly sure that I do not add slashes twice? Are they being added automatically somewhere as a result of a setting in the php.ini file? With regards to my use of mysql_result as opposed to mysql_fetch_* functions, I was ignorant of the performance hit and I will now re think around my database code.
