Post Form Code - It won't work

[lookielookies]

Hi

 

Let me start by saying I'm an absolute PHP beginner.

I was experimenting with a simple POST script, but when I try to submit a form code (like an autoresponder form), on the result page lots of // are added.

 

The code looks like this:

 

<center>  <h2>This Is The Title </h2>
<br /><br />
   <p><center><form method=\"post\" action=\"http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"meta_web_form_id\" value=\"********\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"meta_split_id\" value=\"\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"unit\" value=\"ultimateebaykit\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"redirect\" value=\"http://www.********.net/******\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"meta_redirect_onlist\" value=\"\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"meta_adtracking\" value=\"\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"meta_message\" value=\"1\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"meta_required\" value=\"from\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"meta_forward_vars\" value=\"0\">
<table>
<tr><td colspan=2><center></center></td></tr>
<tr><td>Name:</td><td><input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" value=\"\" size=\"20\"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Email:</td><td><input type=\"text\" name=\"from\" value=\"\" size=\"20\"></td></tr>
<tr><td align=\"center\" colspan=\"2\"><input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\"></td></tr>
</table>
</form></center>
<p></p>

  

 

Is there a way to prevent this?

 

Greetz!

exactly what do you mean by //? can you please show your results page?

um because you are escaping slashses in a section that isn't php?

[JasonLewis]

yeh you only need to escape if its in an echo statement.

 

like so:

 

echo "<a href=\"http://www.site.com\">A site</a>";
