as others have mentioned already, it's happening automatically because of the magic
quotes feature. use the function stripslashes() to remove the escaping character.
$text = "o\'reilly";
$text = stripslashes($text);
// $text now equals "o'reilly";

Subject: [PHP] apostrophe ( ' ) on a form, adding \; How can i fix this?
I have a user/form that client enters data. And one of my clients have an
apostrophe on his name
eg: Ero's
Now, this page has a confirmation page that the client would see first
before his form will be directed into my system. Now its shows "Ero\'s" how
come this is happening? I dont have any filters for this?
Any help is much appreciated! Thank you!
