I have a problem with str_replace. Plz help

[bimbofred]

Hi,

 

I have created a form. I made it so that when someone submits " or ' insted of echoing like this \" or \' it echos like this " or '.

The code I used was this:

$find = array("\"","\'");
$replace = array('"',"'");
$write = str_replace($find, $replace, $_GET["text"]);
echo $write;

 

The problem is it echos this \ insted of this " and this " insted of this '.

Why?

i think you are trying to add or strip slashes,,

 

try to use addslashes and stripslashes

$find = array('\\"','\\\'');

 

Of course, using stripslashes would be much easier. Sounds like you're hitting magic_quotes.
