Removing \ from my query string...

[iceydee]

Hello!

I've made a simple page with a simple form on it. The form is a textbox (multiline) where I can write querys for MySQL... Well, I have a problem. When I fetch the strings with PHP it writes a \ infront of every ' I write... I know why it does this, but I don't want it to... is there a way to make it not do that, or is there an easy way to remove them? I still want to be able to write \' myself in the query, so it mustn't remove all \ in the string, only the ones that it made itself... that should not be a problem though, since if I write \' in the query, it comes out as \\' in the string when it's in php...

Thanks in advance!!

Turn gpc_magic_quotes (or something like that) in php.ini off. Or use stripslashes in your program to remove the slashes.
