Question

I have a page where i’m using edit-in-place… now, after the update it’s showing slashes even though I am using stripslashes() – prob because ajax call just updating the div therefore bypassing the stripslashes function

Anyway, if i refresh the page manually they go away, which is what I need… so, i figure if i add a page refresh after the mysql update then all should be good – but i seem to be getting caught in endless loop

this is the php which is called within the jquery edit-in-place function:

$update = $_POST['update_value'];

$div_id = $_POST['element_id'];

include '/dbconnect.inc';

$changedata = mysql_query("
update page_content set 
div_content_old = div_content,
div_content = '$update'
where div_id = '$div_id'",$db);

//echo $_POST['update_value']; commented out as before header()

header("Location: $PHP_SELF"); // using php_self as called from various pages

is there a better way to do this?

Answer 1

Closing question as it seems there’s actually a bug in the js code which was forcing me to try this.

What i did in the end was simply stripslashes() before the result of the function was actually echoed – thanks for looking guys!
