The infamous ' " posts

[Anon]

I am making a small forums.php on a webpage, that much is easy. My question is, how can you filter the ' and " through and look normal. Now, I have seen some forums when you use those they end up putting / in front, this one might do that too, dont know. But then you see a few of them and end up with //////// which looks lame. Any extra coding that can be done to show the quotes and single quotes better?

Any help will be appreciated.

If you magic quotes turned on, you don't need to do anything.
At least in my experience, the extra backslashes appearing is
a sign that you're calling addslashes() when you don't need to
because magic quotes will do it for you.

I wonder if you can help,

I have magic quotes on, here's the problem.

I have an input form which the users adds a title, url, keyword and description to. When they submit this information, it reads it back to the title, url and keyword for the next form so they can put anouther keyword in without having to add the other stuff.

When they put in say:
This is a "cool" site isn't it! I have a problem. First off it adds to the MySQL database fine, but when it reads it back into the form I end up with:
This is a \

Although all the text is in the form if you look at the source as:
This is a \"cool\" site isn\'t it!

Is there a way of reading back the information and putting it in the form fields so that it reads as the original?

Thanks

I havent used the magic quotes yet, I will, thanks for the help. As to the "Cool" have you tried magic quotes? I currently got mine working using addslashes() when saving to the dbase and stripslashes() when getting it back out. Works ok here.
