php variable echo'ed out puts a / in front of an apostrophe
I am working on a wordpress theme with custom options and one of the options is for the header text. The variable works and so does the code but when I put a name that includes an apostrophe it puts a "/" in front of it. Can anyone tell me why it is doing this and how to stop it.

I "tried" using both of these. Not really sure what I am doing. I did check the .phpini file and the magic quotes are already turned off. I tried to put the action code from Ray_Paseur and it gave me an error? I am using Wordpress and the functions.php file. I really need a little more instruction on where to put these codes.
It's possible that the escape characters have already polluted the data base. If magic quotes was ever on at all, this may be a risk. Do you have phpMyAdmin installed? It will let you look directly into the data base so you can see whether this has happened.

I do have phpMyAdmin... From what I am reading online, it is due to Wordpress looking for Magic quotes and then adding them back in. So I need to remove them with the data that is being $_Post .. Here is the functions.php code. I am specifically working on the "unit name" section. That is where they can input the unit name in the theme options page and it will populate it into the index.php page.
<?php
// Add RSS links to <head> section
automatic_feed_links();
// Load jQuery
if ( !is_admin() ) {
wp_deregister_script('jquery');
wp_register_script('jquery', ("http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"), false);
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
}
// Clean up the <head>
function removeHeadLinks() {
remove_action('wp_head', 'rsd_link');
remove_action('wp_head', 'wlwmanifest_link');
}
add_action('init', 'removeHeadLinks');
remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator');

Thanks Ray_Paseur.... It works!
But I also had to add it in one other place in case someone finds this and is trying to fix their pages.
This is the way the options page works.... There is a form (the piece of code you edited above) that asks them what they want the unit name to be. When they enter it, it stores in that page so when they come back to change the name. it shows them the current name in the form box.
Then, once they enter a name into the form, it goes to header.php via this code,
and shows the unit name they entered at the top of the page in a <div>
So as you see above I just added the stripslashes the same way that you did it in the other code and that way it works on both the form side AND the website side.
Thank you SO much!
