Hi all, I have a problem in that when I am retrieving data from MySQL that containes double quotes, the double quotes gets repeat, and also the string that does contain double quotes gets double quotes added to the begin and end of it For example I get the following: "16"" Manikin" >From what should be the following 16" Manikin Wh I inserted the data into the database I used the 'addslashes' function. Even when I use the 'stripslashes' the output is still the same. Anyone have any clues? :-s Cheers Tryst
