Hi, I have a site where commas and quotes change to \" once the article is posted.

Some have proposed that it's because magic_quotes are set to on (and they are because I checked using <?php phpinfo(); ?>). I checked my php.ini file and it doesn't have that code, meaning it's probably set up on my hosting provider's side. So shat are my options? Should I turn them off somehow? Isn't it better to have them on? Is there some code I can add to fix this problem? The site lets users post game reviews, and the last thing I want is a note saying "Warning, you must type your text in Word first," cause it would look lame, and I definitely want the site to be perfectly optimized.

Hi there,

If magic quotes are turned on use stripslashes to remove the extra slash as follows:

Code:
<?php
echo "Removed Slashes: ";
// Remove those slashes
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc())
echo stripslashes($_POST['question']);
else
echo $_POST['question'];

?>

<form method='post'>
Question: <input type='text' name='question'/><br />
<input type='submit'>

</form>
