Problems With Apostrophes [ ' ] In Php

leiaah
Yes I have another problem. I have a blog that I made with php and mysql. It's working just fine except for the text being displayed on the page. Everytime there's an apostrophe encountered, *something puts a slash before it. It's fine in the database only the page. Probably a problem with PHP. I hope you understand what I say.

Here's a sample line displayed in my blog:

-- It\'s Saturday but I\'m still in the office. -- [ See the \ before the apostrophes? ]

check out the function called STRIPSLASHES($STR);

just put everything you output to your page into this function first and your slashes will be gone.

examaple:

CODE

$string="It\'s Saturday but I\'m still in the office.";
$string=stripslashes($string);
echo $string;


try that.

Woohoo! It worked! Thanks a lot. There's this line in my code that says:
CODE
$string=stripslashes($string);

I just copy-paste code from an ebook that's why I don't know how to debug things. Haha! Thank you very much. You made me happy today! laugh.gif

    instructions: QUOTE 1) Upload the files to a useful place inside your web server's
    document tree. 2) Change the things that look wrong in config.php. 3) Make sure "AcceptPathInfo
    ON" (or analogous) is somewhere in your PHP file section of your web server config. 4) Go over

  9. Include Funtion Php Problems
    in xammp and php 5.1.1 (11)
    Hi, I just recently installed the latest versin of XAMMP on my computer which comes with php5.1.1
    and i have been noticing some problems with the include(); funtion. This is a code that worked
    fine on trap17 hosting so I am thinking it has something to do with the php version of 5.1.1 since
    trap17 uses 4.3.X. Now what the actual problem is is using the variables in the include function.
    If i have a normal include sentence like this one: CODE include "hello.php"; then it
    works fine but as soon as i start using variables it somehow dosent work at all. ....

    Well, I'm new to PHP, and I get tons of problems when I use the include tags: Let's say my

    in is not in the same folder as menu.htm, but in "folder2": www.mysite.com/folder2/index.php The
    images in menu.htm are located in it's own folder: www.mysite.com/images. However, when I load

  12. Browser Problems, Maybe?
    Firefox vs IE (6)
    Alright, I coded something the other day for the game I am working on making, and a few of my
    friends I allowed to get on it and test things out. Well....the ones that were on IE their
    characters were made but the User variable as in which account they were on just stayed blank, while
    with my friends that were on Firefox, everything worked fine and they could play perfectly... So I
    was wondering, with PHP sql codes being sent to the database, is there something special you have to
    do to make it work on both, or could it be a setting on the IE that was messing with it......
