Question

In the code below, the second line posts $comment to Twitter.

When $comment below has apostrophes in it, they are preceded in the Tweet with a backslash. How can I get rid of the backslash in Twitter?

$comment = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['comment']);

$tweet->post("statuses/update", array("status" => "$comment $fullurl"));

Answer 1

Perhaps magic_quotes are set to on in PHP conf? See manual

You can do also

$comment = mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($_POST['comment']));
