automatically escaping in form data

[Anon]

Hello All,

I have noticed that when people send data through a form these get echoed back with \ before every quote.

Is there anyway i can echo back this data exactly as the user inputted in?

Thanks

use stripslashes()

"magic quotes" is very, very stupid idea. To make portable code you need:

1. Function like that:

function kill_magic($S)
{
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()) return stripslashes($S);
return $S;
}

2: All income data affected by magic quotes must be processed by this function.
