RE: [PHP-GENERAL] Remove double quotes from string

I think I have tracked the problem of the additional "\" which should not be
there. php3 seems to add to any text field submitted via an HTML form which
contain double quotes a "\". Probably to prevent trouble when it gets
further processed. Similar to the lite(mSQL) function msqlEncode($string). 

Thus, you could not see the problem which I had.

Strange, any idea how you can trun off this feature?
