PHP troubles with '

[Kadenz]

I am having a problem with ' when it is submitted to PHP through a form, as it comes out as \' instead of '
I tired str_replace and stripcslashes commands and they don't seem to work, is there some way to fix this?

stripslashes

 

[Noobie]

if stripslashes isn't working you may have saved or resaved the data with the \' .

If that's the case you'd need to manually edit it if its a small number of records because stripslashes won't help you.

code pls. usually an esc. character will do like / before the '

 

[mikesherov]

' comes out like \' when submitted through a form if your server has magic_quotes_gpc turned on. For a solution that works on all servers:

if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$variable = stripslashes($variable);
}

This is of course assumes the programmer knows when to add slashes when needed.
For more information, please see the official PHP website:

Here is the code i'm using:

<?php
if ($_GET[image] == "") {
    echo "Error: Invalid Entry, Please Choose a Template";
    } else {
if ($_GET[string] == "") {
    echo "Error: Invalid Entry, Please Insert Some Text";
    } else {
    if ($_GET[fontsize] != "") {
    $fsize = $_GET[fontsize];
    } elseif ($_GET[fontsize] == "") {
    $fsize = 16;
    }
    if ($_GET[fontsize2] != "") {
    $fsize2 = $_GET[fontsize2];
    } elseif ($_GET[fontsize2] == "") {
    $fsize2 = 16;
    }
    $myImage = ImageCreateFromPng("templates/".$_GET[image]);
    
    $grey = ImageColorAllocate($myImage, 128, 128, 128);
    $white = ImageColorAllocate($myImage, 255, 255, 255);
	$navy = ImageColorAllocate($myImage, 19, 19, 86);
	$bred = ImageColorAllocate($myImage, 199, 0, 0);
	$dred = ImageColorAllocate($myImage, 93, 11, 11);
	$black = ImageColorAllocate($myImage, 0, 0, 0);
	$string = stripcslashes($_GET[string]);
	$string2 = stripcslashes($_GET[string2]);
    if ($_GET[image] == "mu_bk2.png") {
    ImageTtfText($myImage, $_GET[fontsize], 0, 180, 34, $bred, "fonts/".$_GET[font], "$string");
    ImageTtfText($myImage, $_GET[fontsize2], 0, 220, 54, $bred, "fonts/".$_GET[font], "$string2");
    }
    elseif ($_GET[image] == "mu_all.png") {
    ImageTtfText($myImage, $_GET[fontsize] , 0, 100, 80, $navy, "fonts/".$_GET[font], "$string");
    ImageTtfText($myImage, $_GET[fontsize2], 0, 150, 110, $black, "fonts/".$_GET[font], "$string2");
    }
	elseif ($_GET[image] == "mu_bk.png") {
    ImageTtfText($myImage, $_GET[fontsize] , 0, 14, 80, $white, "fonts/".$_GET[font], "$string");
    ImageTtfText($myImage, $_GET[fontsize2], 0, 50, 100, $white, "fonts/".$_GET[font], "$string2");
    }
	elseif ($_GET[image] == "mu_dl.png") {
    ImageTtfText($myImage, $_GET[fontsize] , 0, 40, 80, $dred, "fonts/".$_GET[font], "$string");
    ImageTtfText($myImage, $_GET[fontsize2], 0, 60, 100, $dred, "fonts/".$_GET[font], "$string2");
    }
	elseif ($_GET[image] == "mu_mg.png") {
    ImageTtfText($myImage, $_GET[fontsize] , 0, 160, 40, $white, "fonts/".$_GET[font], "$string");
    ImageTtfText($myImage, $_GET[fontsize2], 0, 200, 60, $white, "fonts/".$_GET[font], "$string2");
    } else {
    ImageTtfText($myImage, $_GET[fontsize], 0, 200, 80, $white, "fonts/".$_GET[font], "$string");
    ImageTtfText($myImage, $_GET[fontsize2], 0, 200, 100, $white, "fonts/".$_GET[font], "$string2");
    }
    header ("Content-type: image/png");
    ImagePNG($myImage);
    ImageDestroy($myImage);
    }}
