small problem

[scialom]

Hello,

I have a small script:
<form action=test.php method="post">
<input type=text name=tt>
<input type=submit>
</form>
<?while (list($name, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
${$name} = $value;
}?>
<?=$tt?>

now when I type in the text box a'
I get a\' and I really don't need the backslash. From where it comes and how can I get rid of it?

Of course this small script is just an example of the problem that I have with one of my application.

Thanks,
Assaf

stripslashes();

PHP adds the slash to escape the single quote. Otherwise it would mess up your query as querys use a lot of single quotes.

Strip Slashes will take out all slashes.

example:

$tt =  "don\'t be crazy";
<?
echo stripslashes($tt);
?>

OUTPUT:
don't be crazy
