"What's new to the site?" shows up as "What\'s new to the site?". Why is this? How can I prevent this? How it is ran through the site: $pagetitle = mysqli_real_escape_string ($mysqli, $pagetitle); $pagetitle = cleansafelynow($pagetitle); I did google this problem and nothing seemed to help me. It shows up fine when not going through mysqli_real_escape_string. The function used: function cleansafelynow($var) { if (@get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {stripslashes($var);} strip_tags($var); htmlspecialchars($var, ENT_QUOTES); return $var; } I also tried stripshlashes() alone and not going through the if statement and it remains the same. Is there something I can do to remove all backslashes possibly? Or maybe a different way to accomplish this? magic_quotes_gpc, magic_quotes_runtime, and magic_quotes_sybase are all off.
