Ok guys.. I would just try this but unfortunately I dont have access to the server I am running my website on at the moment because it was hacked by the Bosnian Internet Hackers network.. cool eh? not... (www.idahopagan.com) .. So, in writing my guestbook, I'm using an html form to send the data then storing it in a mysql database. Prob is whenever someone puts a slash, it cuts off the rest of the information afterwords. How do I fix this? the stripslashes function? also, it always puts a slash in front of any apostrophes.. Just thought I would ask here first.. now to sit and wait for the guy to get home and fix the server.. 🙁 🙁
