[Resolved] Too many slashes...

Kudose

Hello all. All I really want to do is add slashes to my content. I want a user to be able to input data using HTML into my database. Also, if a user doesnt use HTML, I want the line breaks to change to HTML breaks.

That all works.

The problem is that if I use this code:

<?php
class convertText{
	var $data;
	var $result;

function inputData($text){
	$this->data = $text;
	$this->data = rtrim($this->data);
	$this->data = nl2br($this->data);
	$this->data = addslashes($this->data);

	$this->result = $this->data;

	return $this->result;
}

function outputData($text){
	$this->data = $text;
	$this->result = stripslashes($this->data);
	$this->result = str_replace("<br />", "<br>", $this->data);

	return $this->result;
}
}
?>

And input this data:

This is a test document.  I will try HTML by bolding <b>this text</b>. "This should be in quotation marks."

2 line breaks.

The end.

I get this output:

 This is a test document. I will try HTML by bolding this text. \"This should be in quotation marks.\"

2 line breaks.

The end.

How can I get rid of those frickin extra slashes?

Any help would be great.

do you have magic_quotes enabled?

you may like to include this inside your class so it willl work on servers with magic_quotes enabled and disabled:

if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {

// needs slashes adding

} else {

// doesnt needs slashes adding

}

Adding to last post.

$content = $_POST["content"];
if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
	$str = addslashes($content);
} else {
	$str = $content;
}

and to print

echo stripslashes(nl2br($row["content"]));

Thanks for that info. I have everything working using this:

<?php
class convertText{
	var $data;
	var $result;

function inputData($text){
	$this->data = $text;
	$this->data = rtrim($this->data);
	$this->data = nl2br($this->data);
	if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc()){
		$this->data = addslashes($this->data);
	}
	$this->data = str_replace("<br />", "<br>", $this->data);

	$this->result = $this->data;

	return $this->result;
}

function outputData($text){
	$this->data = $text;
	$this->result = stripslashes($this->data);

	return $this->result;
}
}

$text = "\"This is text.\" <b>This is bold.</b>";

$convert = new convertText;

echo $convert->inputData($text)."\n";
echo $convert->outputData($text)."\n";

?>
