getting rid of "\" when i type '

[Anon]

Also regarding my PHP guestbook/chat, the problem:

When I type in "I'll", In the output message, I'll get "I\'ll". What can I input to stop this?

[djurnoce]

echo stripslashes( $output );

[Anon]

$var = stripslashes($text);

[fandelem]

also i would like to point out that while these other folk are correct by removing the backslash for readability, you need to remember that if you need to insert this into a database, you MUST have the slashes. so, if you are writing to a database, go with the echo stripslashes($var) approach, so you do not remove them from the actual variable, just remove them from the data being displayed.

cheers,
