Hi fellow php'ers, 

I am developing a page and i have the following problem:

In a form, i have a textarea element called "elem". When someone types
in there the string

I've gone

and submits, then: 
1. in my local, Easyphp implementation, 
   print $_POST['elem'];
   correctly produces
   I've gone

2. in my live implemention with a web hosting company:
   print $_POST['elem'];
   produces the altered
   I\'ve gone

(watch the backslash). Is there any way that I can get rid of that
extra backslash? It gets stored in the database, displayed everywhere,
just can't make it go away. I've tried htmlentities to filter the
$_POST['elem'], doesn't work.

Anyone hjas seen this problem before? Easyphp does it right, as
expected. Why does my web hosting company mess it up?

Thank you in advance, 
Costas
