I have a <textarea ...> </textarea> tag in a form. The user inputs the following (and submits): Don't! I just used an apostraphe. The php script creates a pdf and prints the following to the pdf page: pdf_show_xy($pdf, "$str", 10, 10); Don\'t! I just used an apostraphe. I've tried stripcslash() and stripslashes()... Niether does the trick... What am I missing? Thanks in advance, RDB
