[SOLVED] slashes problem

[shadiadiph]

I have a form that passes to another to display so i am using stripslashes to remove the \ which occur after a 's then it passes to another submit page i have tried using stripslashes on this page but it keeps returning any instance of 's \'s how can i fix this i am confused

[trq]

stripslashes should work, we need to see some relevent code.

[The Little Guy]

try using it twice...

 

stripslashes(stripslashes($string));

Also, are magic quotes on and you are using addslashes( )

 

That would put

I'm a human

like:

I\\\'m a human

 

Then stripslashes only takes one set away:

I\'m a human

mm seems to be working from the email side now send the email without the \'s but when i try to insert says jame's into my database it is saying it will not allow the insert because of the 's ?? I am inserting into my database as well as emailing the data.

 

for example
$client       = stripslashes($_POST["client"]);


              $insert = " insert into tblmaildetails (type, sort, office, client, emailclient, subject, message, seen, sent, senttime, idkey) values ('email.php', 'Email', '$office', '$client', '$emailclient', '$subj', '$message', 'No', now(), now(), '$random')";
		$DB_site->query($insert);

mm solved the problem found that the problem was i was using strtolower and ucwords and stripslashes in the wrong order i was puting stripslashes first so everytime i asked it to do something it was adding another / to it. So I now hav stripslashes slashes last in the chain but mysql_real_escape_string( also then adds another / before adding it to the database so where i have it displayed after this i have to strip it again.
