[FX.php List] Pulling back an apostrophe

[Dale Bengston]

Hi Trish,

Take a look at the PHP manual entries for addslashes() and stripslashes(). These functions add and remove bacwards slashes \ to escape various characters - including quotes - in text fields.

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.stripslashes.php

Hope this helps,
Dale
