I am trying to post information on a webpage and whenever I have a quote or apostrophe character the result shows a backslash preceding every quote and apostrophe. Is there someway to stop that from happening?

are you the one with the page or are you filling in information on another page? I had this problem with the php taboard i created. if its your page that other people post on, and as far as php goes, its

$variable = stripslashes($variable);

if you are the one submitting the info, its simply up to the website that you are posting on. its a common problem, just because not everyone puts the codes in their scripts.
