I have a form with a textbox that allows a user to enter the filepath. If i enter the file path as c:/ it works just fine. If I type in c:\ on submit form it converts the \ to \\ and on every submit the number of slashes double. How can I use the backslash as I need the backslash for specifing the filepath. How can I stop it to replicate?? Help is appreciated. Thanks, Regards -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
