$_GET putting unwanted chars ...

[Decipher]

Hi,

 

I am using

$query=$_GET["query"];

to retrieve query string but if i pass say "test" in the query the

output of $query variable is ->  \"test\"

 

i.e. it is putting an extra backslash before the double quotes..

 

any suggestion???

you can use stripslashes() on the GET data if you want.  this is caused by magic quotes - see the manual for details.

I'm not sure if it'll matter but...

 

Change:

$query=$_GET["query"];

To:

$query=$_GET['query'];
