this seems so obvious yet it is giving me problems.

I have a text area in a form that is passed to a php page to be 
written to a database. first though It displays the contents of the 
form in a preview page. then if everything is good the user click the 
button and it write to the DB. I pass the contents of the text area 
straight to the next page (i.e. $form_item_name) so i never mess with 
the variable.

now for the problem.

when it displays the variable it adds the escape character (\) to any 
' or " in the text. if I resend the same document it adds more. how 
do i get it to display 's and "s in a variable without php adding the 
\??
