PHP, removing \ before

[CHR15B]

In my PHP script (very basic) everytime an apostrophe is entered, when displayed a \ appears before it automatically, is there any way to fix this so it won't happen?

You can remove the slashes with the stripslashes() function.

$string = stripslashes($string);

So if I put this at the top of the script, whenever a user enterers a message like

Hi I'm John, it'll display as that, instead of Hi I\'m John

I can't say what it would do without seeing the code itself. Are you pulling values from a database? You're welcome to post the code or a snippet here.

Ah, I managed to get it working, it was to stop it happening in submitted comments, I just added $comments=stripslashes($comments); and it worked, cheers buddy!

Slashes remind me of SQL Injection :">
