Hi there,
I wrote a script which lets you fill in a couple fields in an html form
and then writes that data to a text file, and then reads it. It's designed
for people to chat with each other. But if you type in a quote " or a
backslash \ or a single quote ' , when the message is printed to the screen,
before one of those characters is an escape character...the backslash
>( Can i have PHP ignore these characters entirely, or somehow bypass the
automatically inserted backslash? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
The Stealth Techie

btw, my site is www.sifoc.com -- check it out! the above script i am talking
about is called the FlameBoard, so if you visit the site you can see whats
wrong with it.

Just put the function stripslashes($text) around the output. That way
the escape characters are still there and won't break the code but also
won't be displayed on the html page.
