RE: [PHP] Filtering out \ when a ' is user entered?

[James Cox]

I might be wrong, but if you did something like this..

<?php

$somevar = your database stored data;
$somevar = stripslashes($somevar);

echo $somevar;

?>

would work quite well, I think.

Subject: [PHP] Filtering out \ when a ' is user entered?


Hello,

I'm pretty new to PHP but all I've seen of it so far I pretty much love!

I've built a web log but when the user enters their data and they use '
or "  (and you know they will)   php always shows it from the included
web log as

\'  How can I filter out these backslashes so they don't appear on the
final public viewable page?

Thanks,
Marcus
