@NogDogJul 15.2010 — #As Mindzai said, the escaping back-slashes should not be showing up in your data, unless you are double escaping for some reason, the most likely reason being that the now-deprecated magic_quotes_gpc feature is enabled (deprecated now because of this type of confusion/hassle that it causes). I've got a little function here you can use to easily undo its effects if it cannot be turned off.: [url=http://www.charles-reace.com/blog/2010/07/13/undoing-magic-quotes/]Undoing Magic Quotes[/url] .
How can I reverse the effects of mysql_real_escape_string?
After retrieving data that went through mysql_real_escape_string before they were inserted into the database, I want to remove all of the slashes. I know I can do it using preg_replace, but is there a built-in PHP function that can do this for me?
