Problem with \ appearing in my HTML results

[tuscan]

I am having trouble with \ appearing before a ' in my database. For example if someone entered this comment into a field - It's a good idea - then when I display this from the database to a HTM page it looks like this - It\\'s a good idea

How do I get rid of these backslashes and do they appear if you use any other characters e.g. * "

Please help

Turn off magic_quotes_gpc in php.ini. It is probably the reason why your single quotes are getting escaped twice.

Thanks for that but I do not have access to the php.ini

Is there another way to stop this happening, that anyone knows off.
