Need help w/ database, textarea and PHP

[Anon]

Ok, using PHP, I have my users enter info into a textarea tag. When they click the submit button, I use str_replace() on what they entered so that if they use quotation marks, it won't cause an error.

Works grea - my problem however,is reading the field to a page from the database. If they used "" in their text, it shows up as \"blah blah\" - When I display the text on screen, how can I have it NOT display the \'s?

Thanks,

Seth
