problem: masked backslash in form

[teppichman]

Hello,

Got a problem with php-transfer of a form-content.
I'm programming a forum and each backslash or " or ' is - of course-
masked with a backslash after transmitting the form via php.
Is there a command which does not make the php-interpreter masking
several charakters ?

Thanx so far,
tobi


so long, herr bert
Thanx so far,

Hi Tobi,

This is caused by a php.ini directive called "magic_quotes_gpc", which
automatically escapes certain characters in strings.

If you can't (or don't want) to change the directive itself, you could also
use stripslashes().

HTH,
