Re: Input text issues

I believe php is 'escaping' these characters so they will not be parsed as
code.

see http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.stripslashes.php

Whenever I receive input from an HTML text field or and HTML text area
with " or ' meaning double or singe quotes into a php variable and then
print or echo it back out to the user in html I get these characters
accompanies by a \ . Why is this and how can I get rid of it.


$submitform->body=@$_POST['body']; <<<< there are no \ in the input.

print("body - ".$submitform->body."<br>"); <<<< but here there will be
slashes for all ' or " .

Thanks for any help!
