Text prints wrong...

[Anon]

I have this comment script, when ever anyone post on it and the use a ' after the post it prints out like this \'

I'm wondering why it does this, the person I got it from doesn't do this on theirs.

Also note, the server that I'm on requires it to be .cgi instead of .php (i have to add a #!/usr/local/bin/php at the top). I have a feeling this might have something to do with it, but I don't know I'm not a PHP guru. (FYI, i have to name it .cgi so it can write to other files and make new files.)

It's because the PHP installation has magicquotes turned on. Just use stripslashes($variable) and it will remove that (do it before you print).

Where do I put it in the script?

Right before you print probably...
