Topic awaiting preservation: Funy Escape slash problem thats unfunny (Page 1 of 1)

Hey, I've just about finshed work on my blog script
but when I input text eg.. I'll or We'll
I will get I\'ll or We'\ll .. how can I fix this problem? some one told me to use htmlspecialchars() but that was no good because it stripped out all html and i want to be able to use html in it, just not, the quotes,
I've had a look around and cant find anything that works, anyhelp as usual would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

If you can't find a function that works write one yourself.

Your function should take all the text in as a a variable and look within it, find all the " and ' and put one backslash before them and a backslash before any single \.

That's really aobut it.

Tyberius Prime does something similar to this in the new forum code he's writing...if you ask nicely he may share his code with you.
