[FX.php List] FX/FM escaping quotes with a backslash?

[Kevin Futter]

Hi Folks,

I've hit a snag that I just can't figure out. On submitting a URL to a text
field in FM via FX, I'm finding that the quoted href path is being escaped.
For example, on submitting something like this:

<a href="http://www.mysite.com/">My Site</a>

It comes out as this in the database:

<a href=\"http://www.mysite.com/\">My Site</a>

It does the same thing to single quotes. The only thing I'm doing to the raw
POST data prior to submitting it is to run a function to remove smart quotes
and replace them with straight quotes (came from someone here I think).
While it doesn't add slashes anywhere, just for laughs I disabled it anyway
and it made no difference.

I've been all over my code and I can't find anything that's doing this, so
I'm assuming it's either FX (not likely) or FM's XML interface. If it's the
latter, the only thing I can think of is that the submitting page is encoded
as ISO-8859-1 rather than UTF-8, and FM is 'handling' that by escaping
non-ASCII characters. An educated but rather wild guess, really.

Any ideas?
