[PHP] htmlentities

2002-04-06 Thread Joerg Hanke [ML-php]

hi!

i've got the following problem and hope one of you is able to help me
solving that:

i've got a system in php that writes data (e.g. variable-name = $data)
to a mysql database. there are two more scripts: one for displaying the
data and one for writing the data into a formular. the displaying-script
includes a link to the formular-script which submits the values for
$data. i use the command 'htmlentities' to express the value (there is
an html-tag like ) correctly. when the
formular-script is executed via this link i get a wrong result:  there are these backslashes...


what 2 do??

thX,
George

You most likely have "magic_quotes_runtime" enabled in php.ini. Either 
disable it or use stripslashes() on the data you retrieve from the db.
