How to Replace Backslash ( \ )?

[coder]

Hello,

I have a content management page where I can place rich text.

On the confirmation page I display the rich text the user has inputted.
However, I am noticing that when images are included in the rich text,
the confirmation page is not displaying it. When looking at the source
code, it is outputting:

<img height=\"59\" alt=\"Gmail\"
src=\"https:mail.google.commailhelpimageslogo.gif\ " width=\"143\"
align=\"left\" vspace=\"10\" border=\"0\" >

Now, when I submit this the image does get inserted into the database
properly. However, on the confirmation page is does not. Is there a
replace function to use for "\" to only display the rich text on the
confirmation page?

I would use a separate variable to retain the above formatting so that
MySQL doesn't throw an error.

Any assistance would be much appreciated!!

If you're outputting this to the browser, stripslashes() would be in
place. If you're inserting this code into a MySQL table, look into
mysql_real_escape_string.

The addition of these backslashes is known as "magic quotes". You can
disable it in the config file.

Kim,

PERFECT!

A million thank you's! :-)

BTW- I am already using the mysql_real_escape_string function on my
transaction. The stripslashes function is exactly what I was looking
for.

Once again... THANK YOU !! :-)
