hi,
thanx! my magic_quotes_runtime is set to off.
actually, i managed to do a double stripslashes to my form fields eg.
stripslashes(stripslashes($field1)).. this worked well but still if the
input box is a textbox and i have a value that has a double quote ( " ) as
part of it, anything after the double quote gets cut off.. i looked at the
php.net site and tried things like htmlspecialchars and urlendecode but all
to no avail.
will appreciate advice! thanx thanx..

slashes attached too.. the problem is always when the user has an error and
needs to be brought back to form.php that the slashes appear and the number
of slashes doubles everytime the user has to be brought back to form.php.
