JJohnsenDK Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I dont understand your request completely, but i think you could use the explode() function.What is it you are trying to do with the script? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerRobot Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Yes, by default on most hosts, the php setting magic_quotes is turned on. This automatically excapes information from get and post data. Characters such as quotes, semi colons etc can either cause problems with your code or can be used for a malicious purpose. The magic_quotes setting prevents this.To remove the slashes for outputing the data etc, use the function stripslashes()http://uk2.php.net/stripslashes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
