Re: [PHP-DB] adding Carrol O'Conner in a form
Hi, The slash is added because you have magic_quotes_gpc() turned on in your php configuration file - when magic_quotes are on, all ' (single-quote), (double quote), \ (backslash) and NUL's are escaped with a backslash automatically. You can turn this configuration directive off or you can use stripslahes() to remove the slashes.
