Trouble correctly showing apostrophes when include()ing file

[stickynote427]

I made from scratch a form that will allow me to post news on my home page (a bit like a blog). I can successfully write data to the file I want to write data to, but if my news/blog post contains an apostrophe ('), it is written to the file as \' instead of the apostrophe by itself. I've tried using strtr() to replace \' with an apostrophe alone, but with no success.

 

How should I do this?

 

Any information is helpful.

 

Thanks.

Blake

Check if you have magic quotes enabled.

www.php.net/magic_quotes

use stripslashes function when displaying your information... more on php.net/stripslashes

 

ex.

 

$text="don\'t";
echo stripslashes($text);
