/’ :'( Anoying problem
I have 2 sites going that I have just noticed a problem with. One has an email form where the user puts their email address, their name, and their comment, click submit and it sends the email to me. The other has a form where the user types in their text, clicks submit, that saves the text inputed into a text file, and somewhere else on the site, it pulls the text from that file and includes it in the site. The problem I am having is whenever someone uses a ‘ it saves/sends it like this /’ so if someone writes “it’s a lovely day”, it appears like “it/’s a lovely day”. How am I able to make it display as it should? Hope that’s clear.

hello…
w/o knowing your scripting language, it’s hard to be perfectly accurate, but this looks like php’s old magic quotes issue – try this function:
https://us.php.net/stripslashes
hope that helps!

I couldnt work out from that page what to do to solve the problem. This is my code:
/On the page with the form//and on the post.php page/
Success

hello…
didn’t see stripslashes in there, so not sure where you tried, but this line looks like a potential candidate:
$contents=$_POST[‘contents’];
so i’d make that:
$contents=stripslashes($_POST[‘contents’]);
basically get rid of them in any variable you want to before you save it to the file and you should be ok…
