egrep_replace problem

[Anon]

Hi, I am having some trouble with this function. I want to replace:

\' with a simple '

for example, in the string

I went to granma\'s house

becomes

I went to granma's house

I need this because PHP seems to escape the ' and " characters in POSTED
html variables. Now this is fine for getting them into my database, but I want to display these variables on another form using 'echo'
Am I missing something here?

Thanks,

Eric

Read the manual. Particularly the section on stripslashes().
