Passing values containing aposrophe's

[blongden]

Hopefully someone can help me with this - I am trying to pass values between pages that can contain any character (including apostrophes and back slashes). When I use one of these characters, it seems to be automatically prefixed with a backslash - for example, if I entered "I woz 'ere" in a text box, it would be passed through a form to another php script that displays it, and shows up as "I woz \'ere". If this is passed again to another php script, it shows up as "I woz \\'ere".
How can I get round this? I had thought of using a bit of javascript to replace the ' with a backtick or something before it get submitted - but is there any other way without involving javascript?

you can use the strip_slashses() function to remove the slashes when acting on the data. they have been placed there as a security measure.

you could also replace the marks with something else

$text=str_replace("/""[/]",$text)
