[PHP] Re: quotes in text strings

2002-10-02 Thread David Robley

In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
says...
 Hi
 
 Single quote's in strings entered via a text input field are subsequently 
 appearing with what appears to be an escape character -
 
 comm\'ents
 
 how can i correct this?  I've tried
 htmlspecialchars($string, ENT_QUOTES);
 and
 htmlentities($string, ENT_QUOTES);
 
 but these don't seem to work (maybe its me).

stripslashes() is the immediate solution, but you might also want to 
consider the various 'magic_quotes' settings in your php.ini

Probably you have magic_quotes_gpc set to On in php.ini...you can change
this to Off, or you can use stripslashes() on the $string variable...
