Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm sending some data to a PHP script via a POST. It contains single quotes and stuff like that which should NOT be escaped. However it also has backslashes too as valid data. So if I use stripslashes, that will remove my valid backslashes too?<br />
<br />
My hosting company doesn't give me a .htaccess file, I set magic quotes to OFF in the php.ini file and copied it into all directories, but it's still adding the backslashes.<br />
<br />
Thanks

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
