Presumably, thanks to your PHP settings, you need stripslashes() on all $_GET, 
$_POST, and $_COOKIE input.

This does not apply to input from other sources.

Jim,

Thank you for responding.

Yes, stripslashes() was the problem. I've removed it and the code works.

However, it seems that when I send JSON data from a Javascript file, 
stripslashes() is necessary. That's why I had it there. I'm not entirely 
sure what's going on there, so obviously more experimentation is needed.


In any case, your suggestion has got me on the next step, so thanks for 
that tip. I'll add 2 cents to your tab!
