When using a form with an input textbox such as the following ...
<input type="text" name="field1" size=30>
I discovered that when a backslash (\) is typed into the textbox,
when I later check the value (in $field1), I get *two* backslashes.
For example, If I type ...
c:\abc\xyz
the $field1 variable will then have a value of ...
c:\\abc\\xyz
Why does this happen?
Read These From Manual:
http://php.net/manual/en/security.magicquotes.php
When on, all ' (single-quote), " (double quote), \ (backslash) and NULL
characters are escaped with a backslash automatically.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.stripslashes.php
Returns a string with backslashes stripped off. (\' becomes ' and so on.)
Double backslashes (\\) are made into a single backslash (\).
