handling requested variables

[trustle]

Hi, there.
Is there anyone who knows how to handle posted values?
I use the following code snippet to extract the original data from posted variable. Is it sufficient to get the exact data? Any help is greatly appreciated.

$strTemp = str_replace( "\'" , "'" , $postedVariable );
$strTemp = str_replace( "\\"", "\"" , $strTemp );
$strTemp = str_replace( "\\", "\" , $strTemp );

Try:

$strTemp = stripslashes ( $postedVariable );

or turn off Magic Quotes in PHP.ini (those are evil... EEEEVVIIILLLLL... 😃 )
