Does someone knows why the mysql_real_escape_string() function adds three backslashes before quotes, or double quotes, instead of one?

I’m seeing a problem when I retrieve content; there is an extra backslash. This happens only with Aruba MySQL server. On localhost it works great.

Could this be the particular collation? What can I do for this? (Except brute-force removal of the slash?)

    Your problem could be that magic_quotes_gpc is enabled:

    It is best to look at your PHP configuration file (php.ini) and make sure it is disabled:

    magic_quotes_gpc = Off
    

    if you turn it on and you use mysql_real_escape_string, then you end up double escaping your quotes which is NOT good.
