[Resolved] unwanted backslash added to url value

[enderl25]

hello,

i have coded a script which generates links, which when clicked sends a value through the URL. however, if the value being sent includes an "Apostrophe", the value received contains a backslash preceding the apostrophe.

as such:

// script1.php3

$tempName = "Php can't be beat";

printf ( "<a href=\"script2.php3?NAME=%s\">%s</a>", $tempName, $tempName );

// script2.php3

echo $NAME // "Php can\'t be beat"

how should this be resolved?

i appreciate your help on this matter
