[RESOLVED] stripslashes

[robkir]

I can get addslashes to work, but I am unsure how to utilize stripslashes from the following code

<td><input type='text' size='35' name='position[$i]' value='{$contact['position']}' />\n </td>

I tried all the obvious code and tried hunting down an answer on the internet, but I haven't been successful. Can anyone help?

You don't need addslashes and might not need stripslashes; you need [man]htmlspecialchars[/man] or [man]htmlentities[/man].

Hi Laserlight,
Thanks for the speedy reply.

I am trying to handle apostrophes-- such as Ass't . It looks like htmlentities might be the ticket, but I am not sure where to put it in the code.

Thanks

You would use it with the variable whose value would be written to the value attribute of your form element. Actually, I suggest that you use double quotes to delimit your HTML element attribute values instead. By default, both htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities() do not escape single quotes.
